Blue Velvet Atlanta returns to the Rutledge Summer Concert Series with its signature blend of powerhouse vocals, soulful blues, and high-energy performances. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, the all-female blues-inspired band brings the rich traditions of blues to modern audiences with style, passion, and undeniable stage presence.
In 2025, Blue Velvet Atlanta earned both the People's Choice Award and 1st Place at the Atlanta Blues Challenge, earning the opportunity to represent Atlanta at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis in January 2026.
Featuring exceptional musicianship, the band seamlessly blends blues-rock, funky New Orleans grooves, smooth R&B, soulful originals, and rich three-part harmonies that keep audiences singing, dancing, and coming back for more. Their dynamic live performances celebrate the roots of the blues while pushing the genre forward with contemporary flair and fearless female artistry. Fans are encouraged to wear their dancing shoes and get ready to be "Velvetized."
