Velvet Rose @ Midnight Blues 06/03/21

Most times when we stuff up and do something wrong we kick ourselves and go WTF did you do that for?. I know that I do it a lot, but hey I am only human so I just shrug it off and move on, but today I made a great mistake, and I am sooooooooo glad that I did. I was going through events for live music to see who I wanted to check out and with a wrong click of my mouse I found myself at a venue that I have never been to before listening to an artist that I have never heard before. Accidently stumbling into Midnight Blues I found myself in a venue that gives the impression of a smokey gin joint from long ago but owner Zoffee Blues tells me she has only been open for about 9 months.. With records for dance pads and a rather large dog named Max,(yeah he is so cute) I was impressed , but it was Velvet Rose on stage that had me thanking my wrong mouse click, for just like her name Velvet has a voice that is extremely rich and luxurious. After a brief glance at her profile i found that Velvet has been singing for years in RL, doing operas, musicals and even singing backup for a Barbara Streisand concert.......this lady has some impressive street cred, and while she sang a great array of songs I think a friend summed it up perfectly. when he said "this is like a scene from a 1947 movie, I expect to see Fred Astaire come leaping over an amp and do the splits... then twirl away" and how true was that as at times it felt like an amazing musical being played out. Velvet certainly knows how to "put on the ritz"

Side note...there is more to come about another artist at Midnight Blues so stay tuned.
