James Velvet
Just Plain Jane and Other Modest Proposals (2007)

“The focus is on Velvet’s voice and rhythmic acoustic guitar, with other acoustic instruments—banjo, dobro, mandolin, guitar, hand percussion—falling into place. The lyrics are witty, the choruses instantly memorable.”
Brian LaRue, N.H. Advocate, 9/28/06

I’m pleased to have been included in Brian’s and Pat Ferrucci’s (New Haven Register) end-of-the-year local plaudits.

“James Velvet . . . at his best,” sez Mr. Ferrucci!

“No snelstomende river with sudden water falls and swell, but deliciously lapping beekje which parades between folk and headstock.”

Check out the deliciously lapping beekje for yourself, and see if you don’t agree with the critics!
