Park the Van

Park the Van Records was an American record label and management company from New Orleans, Louisiana that was formed in 2004 by Christopher Watson to release music by the band, Dr. Dog. After Hurricane Katrina, the office was moved to Schwenksville, Pennsylvania, then back to New Orleans in 2008, where the label discovered and signed Generationals. In late 2010 the label expanded services to represent independent musicians as managers, adding artists like Broncho, Scott H. Biram, and Pigeon John. In 2012 Watson left Park the Van and the label was run by Zach Fischel, Jeff Olson, and Corey Watson in Santa Monica, California. In 2017, Chris Watson returned to Park The Van, alongside Zach Fischel, Jeff Olson, and Phil Jones. The offices were split between Sacramento, Long Beach, California and London, UK. The company dissolved in 2023.
