May Cause Questionable Dance Moves.

Black Velvet is a two-piece cover band bringing a full-band sound, big energy, and an anything-goes setlist to stages across Central Illinois.

For eight years, Black Velvet has built its shows around one simple idea: play the songs people actually want to hear and make the crowd part of the night. With live vocals, drums, guitar, and carefully produced backing tracks filling out the sound, this duo delivers way more than you'd expect from two people onstage.

And good luck guessing what's coming next.

Black Velvet jumps unapologetically between decades and genres—from classic and alternative rock to pop, new wave, '80s favorites, '90s and Y2K throwbacks, and those songs you forgot you knew every word to. A Black Velvet set might take you from Fleetwood Mac and Blondie to Prince, Alanis Morissette, The Killers, and whatever else sounded like a good idea when they made the setlist.

But the show isn't just about the songs. Black Velvet loves a crowd that sings along, makes requests, dances, laughs, and gets a little weird with them. Whether they're playing a brewery, winery, festival, community event, or neighborhood celebration, the goal is the same: turn a regular night out into a night people remember.

Two musicians. A full-band sound. Eight years of doing things their own way.
