"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.
