Whisky Wednesday: Live Blues & Tasting Experience

Whisky Wednesday featuring Jakeya Limitless

January – June | Every First Wednesday at Velvet Whip

Velvet Whip’s beloved Whisky Wednesday returns with a powerful new chapter. From January through June, join us every first Wednesday of the month for an intimate residency by Jakeya Limitless, bringing her soulful, boundary-pushing sound to our stage.

Each evening blends the warmth of live blues and soul with a curated whisky tasting experience, creating a midweek ritual for music lovers and spirit enthusiasts alike.

Every guest enjoys:

• One handcrafted cocktail

• Three guided whisky tastings

Jakeya Limitless’ commanding voice and magnetic presence set the tone for an evening that’s equal parts raw, refined, and deeply immersive. Paired with exceptional spirits and Velvet Whip’s signature ambiance, Whisky Wednesday is your invitation to slow down, sip intentionally, and connect.

Velvet Whip Welcomes DREW NUGENT & THE MIDNIGHT SOCIETY

a crew of sonic troublemakers resurrecting the raw, unpolished electricity of early American nightlife. This isn’t museum jazz—this is the sound of back-rooms, basement bars, smoke-clouded corners, and after-hours mischief.

Led by Drew Nugent—cornet in one hand, mischief in the other—the Midnight Society plays with the fever and grit of a time when music wasn’t just entertainment, it was rebellion. Their sets swing, growl, laugh, and swagger with the wild, restless pulse of the 1910s–1930s underground scene.

On the 1 Productions and Tender Tan Productions bring you Lovers Lane, vol 3. On Friday, February 6th, join us at Philly's favorite speakeasy and let us get you in the mood ahead of Valentine's Day with an evening of sultry burlesque and sensual live music - together on one stage!

Live music provided by:

Harvest Groove Band (@harvestgrooveband)

Featuring a lineup of some of Philly's best musicians, Harvest Groove is Philly’s favorite cover and backing band. They bring the sweet and sensual energy to every show they perform, with a mix of your favorite R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Funk hits, plus original tunes by individual band members.

Your burlesque dancers:

Ashantidoll (@ashantidoll)

Ashantidoll is a walking daydream dipped in rouge and rhythm. A burlesque muse with a vintage soul, she moves like a whispered secret from a sultry jazz performance to high energy and bold sets. She's all hips, humor, and cheeky stares. Get ready to stare right back.

Betty Fierce (@verybettyfierce)

Betty Fierce is Philadelphia’s Belting Boricua, whose powerhouse vocals and magnetic presence first lit up the scene when she claimed the Debutt of the Year Golden Tassel Jawn in 2020. A classically trained musical-theater artist, she blends deep musicality with high glamour to infuse bold, electric performance energy into every moment onstage. Get ready for this Betty, she’s Fierce!

erica gabrielle (@princessladye)

erica gabrielle is the carnal essence of your dreams and nightmares. Her theatrical character-driven performances will enamor you but something wicked lies behind her hips and eyes. With a background in jazz, pole, as well as professional haunting, her kindness kills. She is the reason the French translation for orgasm is "the little death". 

Burlesque First-Timer?
Welcome to the wonderful world of burlesque! We are honored that you will be joining us. Here are some tips for making the most of your experience at the show. 

DO: Be enthusiastic!
Burlesque performers thrive on an interactive audience! We highly encourage you to clap, cheer, and engage with your performers throughout the show. Applause is not only for the very end. This isn't golf.

DO: Dress for the occasion.
Don't be afraid to wear whatever makes you feel sultry or elegant. We are dressing up for you, after all.

DO: Tip your performers.
Burlesque takes a lot of time, energy, and financial investment. Performers are extremely dedicated to making this look easy and love putting on the best possible show for you. The ultimate way to show your appreciation and be an engaged audience member is through tipping. You are welcome to bring singles with which to shower your favorite performers! Additionally, we will have electronic payment options available.

DO: Ask for consent.
Do not touch your performers (or anyone for that matter) without their consent. We will not be lenient with this. We will also offer consent wristbands for those who seek a more interactive show. 

DON'T: Harass or heckle the performers.
We will not tolerate any racism, sexism, misogynoir, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, MAGAness, or any general disrespect. Those who engage in any of this behavior do not deserve our talents and will be asked to leave without refund.

Velvet Whip welcome shadow-side of jazz with Drew Nugent & The Midnight Society starting in January!

a crew of sonic troublemakers resurrecting the raw, unpolished electricity of early American nightlife. This isn’t museum jazz—this is the sound of back-rooms, basement bars, smoke-clouded corners, and after-hours mischief.
