Alt-rock Hitmakers "Photograph," "The Freshmen"
Full Band Show
Why you should see this show…
The Verve Pipe has spent the better part of three decades in evolution, creating a sound that transcends genre and generation. It’s a sound rooted in pop hooks, alt-rock guitars, and the sharp songwriting of frontman Brian Vander Ark. A sound that’s taken the band from the golden days of late-’90s modern rock — when The Verve Pipe enjoyed multi-platinum success with hits like “Photograph,” “Never Let You Down” and the #1 single “The Freshmen” — to the rule-breaking creativity of the 2010s and beyond, an era that’s found the band reinventing itself with each release. With a reputation for spectacular live performances, The Verve Pipe continue to create new music as an independent band, maintaining their commitment to forward-thinking rock & roll with each new release.
The Verve Pipe Bio
The success of both albums attracted the attention of RCA Records, which released their platinum major label debut Villains in 1996. The album featured the radio hit “Photograph” and the #1 single “The Freshmen,” one of the most successful multi-format tracks of 1997 and winner of an ASCAP Pop Award. Their follow-up release, the critically acclaimed self-titled LP The Verve Pipe, featured “Hero,” a Top 15 hit at Modern Rock radio.
In 2001, RCA released Underneath, which produced the singles “Happiness Is” and “Never Let You Down,” one of the most played songs for Adult Top 40 and Modern A/C radio that year. The album also included “Colorful,” the emotive ballad featured in the film and soundtrack Rock Star, starring Mark Wahlberg and Jennifer Aniston and also co-starring lead singer Brian Vander Ark in his first major film role.
In addition to their success on radio, TV, and film, sold-out concert dates throughout the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia, features in Spin and Rolling Stone and videos on MTV and VH1, the band have made numerous television appearances, including The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Late Night With David Letterman.
After an eight year hiatus, The Verve Pipe were approached to submit an original song for a compilation album of children’s music. That session inspired A Family Album, their critically acclaimed introduction to the world of children’s music, as well as their follow up release, Are We There Yet?. Both albums contain music intended for the entire family, with fun and inventive lyrics set to the memorable melodies the band is known for.
In 2014, The Verve Pipe released their first rock album in over 13 years with Overboard, a collection of ten new songs including “Crash Landing,” “Hit and Run,” and the haunting title track “Overboard.” This long incubating project brought a renewed energy and focus to this self-produced album that resulted in their most inspired writing and recording to date.
The Verve Pipe continue to tour, performing both rock and kids shows throughout the U.S., including special appearances at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits Festival, Hangout Music Festival, SummerStage in Central Park, and many more.
