Locally they have appeared at the Savannah Jazz Festival, Revival Fest, Savannah Stopover Music Festival well as the grand finale event for the 2018 Savannah Music Festival.

Renowned Jazz vocalist Annie Sellick will join the band, adding a vocal element to Velvet Caravan’s normally instrumental performances. Sellick calls Nashville home but is a mainstay at Jazz Festivals all over the world, including the Montreal Jazz Festival. She has performed in Europe, Japan, Canada and across the United States and has released four albums.

Atlanta’s balkan band Mercury Orkestar will open the night.
