About Us

What is BTTV? Better Than The Van is a great way for bands and music fans to connect with each other for a practical reason. You'll meet new people, discover new music and help make touring a little easier. If that sounds like a good time, sign up and give it a try.

Still not convinced? Check out this piece the local CBS station did on BTTV.



What's the story behind the site?Touring isn't cheap or easy. We know, we've done it for years. We've stayed in some great and not so great places while on tour, so we know it can be hit or miss. We figured people are fans of bands and bands become fans of other bands. If we give them all a place to meet under a common need, good things will come of it.
