I sat down with the lovely ladies of Velvet Heat, an all-female offshoot of Steel Town Soul, a soul and pop outfit that rocks the Spin Bartini every other Thursday night with their funky and catchy grooves. These gals can command the band stand all on their own, however, which is exactly what they're setting out to do. Arianna Powell (on the guitar) and Abby Gross (on saxophone and flute) are both masters of their craft and along with Jessica Zamiska's smooth, flawless vocals, this jazz trio is set to become one of the hottest acts in the Pittsburgh blues scene. However, these girls stay connected to their roots with Steel Town Soul, a musical family in which they love to play a part. The group is set to hit the studio soon and with that, the Velvet Heat lasses are keeping their calendars full and their eyes (and ears) set on the stage.
Check out some photos taken during this intimate performance at the James St. Gastropub and Speakeasy and make sure to stay tuned for a multimedia piece on Velvet Heat soon!
