Experience the Magic of Velvet & Vice

The Big Band Duo

Swinging through the decades, bringing the golden era of jazz to life.

Velvet & Vice is a dynamic jazz duo that reimagines the classic big band sound with just two performers. Featuring the deep groove of Marc on double bass and the sultry vocals of Charlotte, we deliver a sophisticated and engaging live performance, perfect for venues seeking a touch of timeless elegance.

Our repertoire spans the swinging 1930s to today, always staying true to the unmistakable jazz style of legends like Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, and Frank Sinatra. We blend classic standards with our own original compositions, all infused with the warmth and energy of swing.

Velvet & Vice - The Big Band Duo

More Than Just Music – A True Live Experience

We don’t just play songs — we create an atmosphere. Customer experience is at the heart of everything we do, ensuring our performance enhances the unique character of each venue. Whether it’s an intimate cocktail lounge or a lively restaurant, we adapt our set to fit the mood, keeping guests entertained and engaged throughout the evening.

The Sound of a Big Band, The Flexibility of a Duo

Our tagline, “The Big Band Duo,” sparks curiosity, and for good reason. Using a carefully crafted backing track alongside live double bass and vocals, we bring the full, rich sound of a jazz ensemble without the need for a full band. The result? A high-energy yet refined performance that feels like stepping into a 1940s jazz club.

Effortless Setup, Premium Sound

We can integrate seamlessly into your venue with a plug-and-play setup using the house PA system, or we can bring our own full production, including a 2.2kW PA system and a professional lighting rig to create a stunning complete experience.

For bars and restaurants looking to offer their guests an unforgettable evening of swing, jazz, and sophisticated entertainment, Velvet & Vice delivers.
