What About That Name?
The band is named after The Velvet Dog, a great New Orleans bar that did not survive Hurricane Katrina. It was located in the French Quarter on the "local side" of St. Peter Street, directly across from Preservation Hall and Pat O'Brien's. Friendly folks. Bikers. Cops. And a juke box with everything from Helen Reddy to Queens Of The Stone Age.
