SWING INTO THE NEW YEAR WITH DOCTOR VELVET. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday evening, January 10, we will kick off the new year at Calypso Theater with a performance by the Amsterdam band Doctor Velvet. This energetic group, founded by childhood friends Jerome and David, brings an explosive mix of rhythm \u2018n blues, punk, boogaloo, and rock ‘n\u2019 roll in the style of The Sonics and Little Richard.<\/p>\n

Doctor Velvet released their first single in 2022 and later debuted with the album \u201cNew Breed,\u201d which brought a breath of fresh air to the Dutch roots music scene. The band has already performed at major venues and festivals such as Paradiso, Tolhuistuin, and Oerol, and has toured internationally in France, England, and Brazil. They have collaborated with artists such as Tito Ram\u00edrez, Benjamin Herman, and Alex Figueira.<\/p>\n

The album \u201cNew Breed\u201d blends the atmosphere of the 1960s with influences from soul, Latin, and 1950s rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, telling the story of nocturnal adventures filled with deserted roads and broken hearts.<\/p>\n

On January 10, expect an evening filled with swinging saxophones, fiery guitar riffs, driving piano, and sultry percussion. Standing and seated tickets available. Tickets \u20ac15 available via theater Calypso.<\/a><\/p>\n
