Bryson and Jill spent 16 years touring across the United States as the acoustic duo Troubaduo. After their son Jedidiah was born & grew older, he began to show signs of musical talents and eventually joined the duo on cajon, harmonica & occasional vocals.

In October 2024, Jedidiah felt a sudden calling to form a full band with his parents & VAN CLEVE was born. Jedidiah learned drums, Jill learned the bass, and Bryson returned to his electric guitar that he played a lot of at the early part of his musical career fronting rock bands.

In November 2024, the family band got their first record deal with The Fellowship Music Label and recorded their first Van Cleve album, produced by Steele Dortch at Studio 221 in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The album “We Carry On” is set to release end of 2026 or early 2027.
