VAN TASTIK is an American artist who has traveled the world, gone through hell and back. In addition to his bohemian past, VAN TASTIK was named Best Classic Rock Act of 2021 by WigWam Radio and has performed on stages ranging from BBC Live to Sniester Rock Festival.
After successful tours in Portugal and the United Kingdom in 2022 and a sold-out EU tour with Cam Cole in 2023, the artist’s social media following tripled. This number continues to rise as they announce performances with major American artists and at major EU festivals in 2023, while simultaneously teasing the release of their debut album.
VAN TASTIK’s performances are pure passion and energy. His songs celebrate life’s hardships and create a familiar and unmistakable atmosphere with humor, audience participation, shouting, and stomping, like a kind of forgotten Pentecostal church service. According to them, “The Darkness” doesn’t have to be scary—it’s something in all of us that we must learn to accept and express, and more literally, a dark room where we can celebrate the moment and come together, united by his Dark Delta Blues, Blues Rock, and Southern Gothic Gospel music.
