Crushed Velvet and The Velveteers ‘Love & Truth’

Alan Evans, multi instrumentalist and co-founder of acclaimed band Soulive releases a powerful soul album ‘Love & Truth’ as his alter ego Crushed Velvet and the Velveteers.

It blends a retro sound with a modern sensibility, strong songwriting and powerhouse vocals from the likes of Kim Dawson (Pimps of Joytime), Saundra Williams (Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, Saun & Starr), Lyle Divinsky (The Motet), Yanick (After Funk), Brother GoodLove (Aztec Sun).
