Led by vocalist and bandleader Heidi Beatty, Heidi Beatty and the Velvet Collective brings a jazz-centered sensibility to familiar pop, rock, and R&B. Rooted in swing, groove, and deep listening, the Collective reimagines well-known songs with elegance, warmth, and a smooth, decadent feel.

The Velvet Collective emphasizes connection—between musicians, across genres, and with the audience—creating performances that feel intimate, polished, and alive in the moment. Each set balances tradition and familiarity, honoring jazz’s conversational spirit while welcoming listeners from every musical background.
