Covenhoven

Join us for a special concert with internationally recognized indie artist Covenhoven (a.k.a. Joel Van Horne) is a multi-instrumental singer-songwriter whose rich harmonies, reedy baritone and commanding falsetto have found a home with critics and fans since 2013. Through four full length albums and two EPs Covenhoven has forged a signature style; layered acoustic arrangements that roll with momentum into orchestral peaks, accompanied by lyrics that contrast hard-won wisdom with the inherent hope of the natural world — from Big Sur to his native Colorado.

His live performances capture the spirit of his recordings — whether it’s conjuring cascading loops in his solo shows or backed by a full band — Covenhoven’s sound fills the breadth of outdoor spaces, auditoriums and club stages. Bandwagon magazine writes that on IV, Covenhoven reaches “into chamber pop territory, and revealing a wider vocal range… sheltered by a gorgeous, rich string and piano accompaniment, whisks us above the campfire folk…” and the Boulder Daily Camera writes “From well-crafted ballads that ache with bittersweet nostalgia to love songs lush with metaphor, it’s clear Van Horne doesn’t stray from the rawness of letting his feelings guide his art. Hard truths, glimmers of hope and questions of faith are cradled by guitar strums, piano chords and powerful melodies.”
