Velour is excited to welcome back our great friends and past Velour Battle of the Bands winners, Cardinal Bloom! These guys have been blowing up this year, and touring across the entire country. A return to the Velour stage has been long overdue!...

Cardinal Bloom is an indie rock band from Salt Lake City, Utah, one of the birth places of the modern Indie Rock genre. Pairing introspective lyrics with energetic, hook-driven arrangements, they've carved out a sound that is both engaging and nostalgic. In 2024, they released their debut full-length album The Only Place I've Ever Known, solidifying their signature style. With ongoing touring and new releases, Cardinal Bloom continues to stand out within the contemporary indie rock scene. Their members include Joey St. John on guitar and vocals, Josh Thomas on guitar, Nate Adair on drums, and Levi Wunderlich on bass
