Green Velvet Exclusive West Coast Appearance (Event Over)

Few artists have the ability to produce timeless music that can cross genre barriers and be enjoyed by listeners with diverse musical interests.   Green Velvet is one of these few.  

Producing under the Green Velvet moniker as well as his alter ego Cajmere, Curtis A. Jones has released a steady stream of dance floor aimed tracks since 1991.   His discography boasts many impressive contributions to dance music: Flash, Answering Machine, (It's Time For) The Percolator, La La Land, Shake & Pop and many others.

Curtis' ear for great music put him at the forefront of two seminal labels in Chicago: Cajual Records and Relief Records.   These labels hosted his original works as well as other renowned artists such as Armand Van Helden, DJ Sneak, Dajae, Johnny Fiasco, Roy Davis Jr., Mark Grant, Gene Farris and more. Green Velvet is usually found traveling across the globe to perform at festivals and huge clubs but May 17th he will make a rare West Coast appearance at San Francisco's Temple Nightclub, playing a DJ set while singing some of his original works.

Rock It Science founder and local favorite Eric Sharp will open for Green Velvet in the Main Room.   The Destiny Lounge will be hosted by Lights Down Low and will feature Dirtybird Records' rising star Worthy as well as Lights Down Low residents Sleazemore and Rchrd Oh!? along with Green Gorilla Lounge's Jimmy B.   Photographers Bennett Sell-Kline and Parker Day will be on hand to document the evening.  Temple's Hip Hop residents Tone and Destro will hold it down in the Catacombs.

Please note that you must have tickets for this event; RSVP for a chance to win a pair of tickets or simply purchase them.  Tickets can be purchased in advance here (recommended as this will sell out) or in limited quantities at the door.
