Red
Velvet Swing
Welcome
to the mellow, easy listening, lounge/pop world of
Red Velvet Swing. Ours is an up-and-coming Vancouver
band with a sound propelled to new sonic heights by
vocalist Janet Thornton, while occasionally descending
into the world of the lounge lizard with the vocal
stylings of vocalist and keyboardist Cliff Howard.
Red
Velvet Swing originally formed as a vocal duo in 1996,
evolving into a 4-piece band in 1999 through the addition
of bass guitarist Shaun Warder and drummer Wayne Turone.
With Red Velvet Swing's first CD release, "Paramours",
they intend to capture an audience that truly appreciates
swooning harmonies, refined grooves, and intelligent,
thought-provoking lyrics.
The band enjoyed a very successful CD release party
at Mesa Luna on West Broadway, playing to a very receptive
and loyal fan base.
Past
successes include winning a semi-final position on
VTV's Dreamseekers, as well as a featured spot on
CBC radio's Afternoon Show in for a province-wide
foodbank fundraiser.
Past
memorable gigs include such venues as the Waldorf's
Blue Lizard Lounge, Blake's in Gastown, Girlfeast
at the Brickyard, and two memorable Beautiful House
events - WildCard
and Curl
I. Thank you for the beautiful vibes!
