Velour Music Gallery (often just Velour) is a music venue, on University Avenue, in Provo, Utah. Velour is owned by Corey Fox. It acts as an all ages music venue catering to an eclectic mix of genres. It is also a smoking and alcohol free environment. [1]
Neon Trees credit Velour as their home venue which helped launch their career.[2][3] Other artists who similarly hold this same sentiment include major label artists Imagine Dragons (Interscope), Fictionist (Atlantic)[4], Isaac Russell (Columbia)[5], and notable folk singer Joshua James[6]. Imagine Dragons and Neon Trees are both past winners of the Velour Battle of the Bands.
SPIN has also dubbed Velour Music Gallery one if the finest music venues in Utah. BYUtv indie music show AUDIO-FILES has had multiple episodes filmed at Velour.
Artists, including Neon Trees, Sara Bareilles, Matt Nathanson, Ryan Bingham & The Dead Horses, Shiny Toy Guns, Meiko, Carolina Liar, Local Natives, Meg & Dia, Rocky Votolato, Imagine Dragons, and many more have played this taste-making venue.
