ALL GIRLS PJ JAM NIGHT! (FOLLOWED BY PJ DANCE PARTY)

All Girls Jam Session: Jammy Jam

takes over Velvet Whip on Friday, May 8 at 8:30 PM—an intimate, high-vibe night spotlighting powerhouse women across genres. Expect a fluid, genre-blurring session where jazz, soul, R&B, and experimental sounds collide in real time. This isn’t a static set—it’s a living, breathing jam led by dynamic female artists who bring both precision and spontaneity to the stage.

From deep grooves to electrifying improvisation, Jammy Jam is about community, expression, and letting the music stretch past its edges. Whether you’re posted with a cocktail or leaning into the front row, the energy stays close, warm, and unapologetically alive.

Then at 11 PM, the night flips.

The room melts into the Jammy Jam Dance Party (11 PM – 1 AM)—a late-night release built on feel-good nostalgia, slow jams, hip-hop classics, and unexpected cuts. Think house party energy meets Velvet Whip sensuality: dim lights, deep bass, and a crowd that came to move. DJs keep it seamless, bridging eras and moods so you never quite leave the rhythm.
