Janet Davis & The Velvet Living Room formed in 2005 as a musical venture among five friends with diverse musical experiences and backgrounds. Accomplished vocalist Davis is joined in the band by husband Wyatt Davis on guitar, Mark McKenzie on saxophones, Raylan Loggins on bass and Jon Hock on drums.
In the group's wide-ranging repertoire, time-honored standards from the Great American Songbook mix with well-chosen and often unexpected covers from the worlds of contemporary pop and rock. Instrumental selections find the band exploring the compositions of the jazz greats.
Pop. Broadway. Jazz. And beyond. Gershwin meets U2 meets Monk.
In its short life, the band has appeared at private and corporate events and local music venues. An unusual presence, personality and sense of humor, combined with musical excellence, make Janet Davis and The Velvet Living Room an intriguing new arrival on the musical landscape.
