Tip the Van

Tip The Van will rock you.

Since 2002, this six-piece group has drawn influences from rock ‘n roll, ska, pop-punk, indie rock and reggae, all the while creating their own unique sound with dual female vocals. In early 2009, Tip The Van went on tour across the midwest, northeast and southeast with Reel Big Fish & Streetlight Manifesto to support their newly released three song EP, “Passion, Love & Pride”. This fall, look out for tour dates in a city near you!
