About
Velvet Bay Groove Company
Cannon Green, the Gadsden House, Middleton Place, the Gibbes Museum of Art, and Lowndes Grove are among the Charleston venues where Velvet Bay Groove Company has played receptions, along with coastal dates at the Ocean Course on Kiawah Island and Wexford on Hilton Head Island.
The band fronts three lead vocalists over a horn section, moving through Motown, soul and funk, shag and beach music, country, yacht rock, and current top 40 without handing off to a DJ. Sets blend live playing with recorded tracks to keep transitions moving, and the band takes on emcee duties for introductions, the first dance, and other reception milestones, learning specific songs on request.
Velvet Bay Groove Company is based in Charleston and has played events across South Carolina and coastal Georgia, including Savannah. Pricing is not published on the band's site; couples request a quote through the booking email.
