Get ready to be transported! Vintage Velvet, the North Island’s rising jazz quintet, invites you to an unforgettable evening of timeless tunes and smooth grooves. From sultry jazz standards and smoky blues to breezy Bossa Nova and unexpected takes on modern favourites, this dynamic ensemble delivers vintage vibes with a fresh flair.
At the centre of it all is captivating vocalist Mel McCutcheon, whose soulful sound—shaped by icons like Sarah Vaughan and Nina Simone—is lighting up stages across Vancouver Island. Her bluesy warmth and magnetic presence are the heartbeat of the band.
Joining McCutcheon are four standout musicians: Michelle Draper on piano, blending classical finesse with jazz nuance, Doug Anderson, layering lush guitar lines inspired by Peter Bernstein, Dave Stevenson, veteran bassist who’s played alongside jazz legends and Greg Hill, a seasoned drummer with a groove for every genre.
Vintage Velvet doesn’t just play music—they create an atmosphere. Don’t miss this chance to experience the magic live.
