Bio
Guard The Van uses a variety of musical genres to create a sound of their own. Influenced by classic rock, new rock, folk, and bluegrass, the music of Guard The Van gives audiences an eclectic performance while still remaining true to their original sound. Guard The Van was established in the Appalachian mountains in Boone, NC. The lyrics are delivered through a crisp resonance of powerful harmonies. The band consists of four young members, motivated and eager to give audiences an uplifting musical experience. Gage Howe, the originator has an amazing knack for music composition. The band hardly goes a practice without starting on a new song that Gage has written. His love for music, and motivation to succeed keeps Guard the Van busy improving their songs and sound at all times. Gabe Fawcett grew up in a musical family, all of which glorified the sound of rock and roll. 33 1/3's of the beatles, the who, the band, steely dan, were being played at all times. Gabe's father played guitar in a rock band as a kid in the early 70s, and he has always encouraged Gabe to do what he loves.. especially if it involves music. Gabe played in a band throughout high school with both of his brothers and two friends from church, one of them being Cameron Ward. Cameron started playing the guitar around 5th grade, and has picked one up everyday since. We aren't sure if it is from the musical background that he comes from, or if he is super human, but Cameron got amazingly good unnaturally fast. Cameron and Gabe reunited in Guard the Van, and their skill levels now have allowed them to take their musical blend to a new level. But perhaps the person who feels the music the most is the striking young bass player Marc Walker. Marc adds the energy that keeps people smiling and moving throughout the entire show. His enthusiasm for every song, whether a favorite of his or not, helps the band and the crowd have the best time possible. ..
