Personnel

I said you!Jessica Leigh

Vocals
Keyboards
Trumpet

Jessica is an accomplished musician with a
vocal style that will grab the strings of your
heart. Her love of performing is obvious and infectious.
Here are some quotes from a review of her solo CD,
"Take Me Through", released in 2002: "Jessica Leigh
combines emotion and melody to create her own style.
It is a little R&B, with a touch of pop, yet the music
has a soul beyond Jessica's years. The lyrics reach out
for you while the music holds you near your speakers.
She is a talented up and coming singer and songwriter."




Jon Claude Van Dam

Richard Van Dam

Vocals
Guitars
Trumpet
Drums

a.k.a. "Jon Claude" or "Rick". When Richard was 10, his father, Archie, suggested he take guitar lessons. Rick backed down from that idea fixating on a musical journey as a trumpet player. When his teen years came, guitar seemed like a much "cooler" thing to do. Guitar it was and GUITAR IT IS! Archie had the right plan all along. Rick is now known for his "jaw dropping" guitar solos. As a university student, his picture was featured on a Billboard. Rick has a college degree in musical performance and does studio work in the Sioux Falls area.

Dan Witte is cool! Daniel Witte

Vocals
Fiddle
Guitars

The first one is biographical in nature. Daily News article. This one was done on his recent induction into the Nebraska Music Hall of Fame. American News article. If you are interested, here is a link to a page with some of his individual work. Dan


He's too ugly for a picture

Toby Witte

Drums

"All I ever wanted to do was play the drums". When you look to the stage and get back to the drums, you'll see an ear-to-ear grin. Toby has a great time putting the "groove" to the Velvet Touch Band. He has been involved with several music projects in the midwest and continues to hone his skills. The dance floor being full at Velvet Touch performances has a lot to do with the energy and beat coming from Toby's drumset. It's music that will make your feet grin!
