Fresh off the release of their self titled debut album, Velvet Truckstop's music represents a culmination of the band's hard earned experience and travels. What you get are tight vocal harmonies, searing guitars, heavy keyboard driven groove and a tight rhythm section that holds it all together.

Separately, the Truckstop have been members of: Dub Faction, Triple Dose, James King Band, Rufus Grove and Deep South (with members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Marshall Tucker Band, Atlanta Rhythm Section and Wet Willie). The band's collective touring experience encompasses 48 states and 17 foreign countries on 3 continents.

Live performances consist of original compositions and carefully adapted covers. Crowds of all ages rejoice as Velvet Truckstop strives to create fresh compounds of down home and American rock and roll.


"If kissing the mountain air they breathe over in Black Mountain, North Carolina makes you sound anything like Velvet Truckstop lead singer Jamie Dose, then the air must be sweeter up there. The most defining element that sticks with you is that their music is just plain old good. Something borrowed, something blue sometimes makes something brand new,"
Brad Hodge, Honest Tune.

"The tight rhythm & blues makes you want to get out of your seat & move the the music. They're a must see band,"
Bad Ash, 105.9 The Mountain WTMT.

"Velvet Truckstop is winning hearts, minds, and ears with their no-nonsense approach to down home rock and roll. Not content with staring in the rear view mirror, Velvet Truckstop is creating fresh and authentic music with appeals to a new generation of fans!"
Don Talley, editor of The Asheville Music Scene.
