Neon Trees (Mercury) credit Velour as their home venue which helped launch their career.[2][3][4] Other artists who similarly hold this same sentiment include major label artists Imagine Dragons (Interscope), Fictionist (Atlantic),[5] Isaac Russell (Columbia),[6] and notable folk singer Joshua James.[7] Other Utah artists have hailed the work of Corey Fox and the value of Velour Live Music Gallery including internet sensation Lindsey Stirling, Truman Brothers[8] and The Used (Hopeless).[9] Imagine Dragons and Neon Trees are both past winners of the Velour Battle of the Bands.
