The Velvet Hearts are a six-piece British rock band based around the songwriting talents of John James Newman (Guitar/Lead Vocal) and Steve Jones (Keyboard / Sax). Live performances are fronted by Newman whose approach is engaging and infectious. The six-piece lineup enables their live performances to sound as polished as their studio work. Newman's Acoustic Guitar is accompanied up by Quest Quinton's electric, with Jamie Bruce enriching the vocal performance.
