Van Hunt

Dropped by two major labels despite winning a Grammy for R&B vocal, Van Hunt is a challenging musical adventurer who mixes rock, funk, pop and jazz. His 2011 album “What Were You Hoping For?” suggests Prince fronting TV on the Radio in all their genre-blending glory — from the boudoir ballad “Moving Targets” to the psychedelic funk-rock “A Time Machine Is My New Girlfriend.” Hunt is even more exciting live.
