Van Duren

Van Duren

If you are a true power pop fan then you already know Van Duren’s classic 1978 debut, Are You Serious?, and that this Memphis native has played with Chris Bell and Jody Stephens of Big Star. Van Duren’s long overlooked career is finally getting the attention it deserves.  His story of trying to join Big Star before the band’s breakup and his interactions with the folks at Ardent Records in the late ’70s are all part of this interview and his biographic movie “Waiting.” See the movie preview below.
