The Incomparable Redd Velvet: Memphis’ Best Female Blues Singer

Blues and soul singer Redd Velvet moved to Memphis from Alabama, and first garnered attention with the release of her debut album Womanhood 101. She has since been prominently recognized as a bold, young voice of the blues, and was selected to be a judge at this year’s International Blues Challenge in Memphis. In addition to her music career, Redd Velvet (who is a nurse by profession) has launched the non-profit Music Heals Memphis initiative, which, among other things, seeks to provide needed healthcare for Memphis’ older musicians.
