Van Cleve is a family band that travels with their amazing rescue cat, Miracle—sharing a soulful blend of gospel, roots rock, Americana, and original songs of faith, hope, and love.

Their musical journey took a pivotal turn in October 2024 after a powerful night at The Good Fight Venue, where Jedidiah saw The Lack Family perform. Inspired by one of the most incredible family bands he had ever seen, he suddenly felt a strong desire to form a band with his own mom and dad.

Jedidiah began learning the drums, Jill began learning the bass, and Bryson returned to his electric guitar. Together, they officially formed VAN CLEVE.

Before forming the family band, Bryson and Jill spent 16 years performing throughout the United States as the duo TROUBADUO. Jedidiah had also joined them for select family performances on harmonica, cajon, percussion, and occasional vocals.

By November 2024, Van Cleve had signed with The Fellowship Music Label. Their debut album, We Carry On, features seven songs produced by Steele Dortch at Studio 221 in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and is scheduled for full release by early fall 2026.

This is only the beginning for a band with a cat—grateful, expectant, and committed to sharing music that brings faith, hope, peace, and encouragement wherever the journey leads.
