Motown band in Detroit:
the revue from Motown's home city
The Velvelettes are a Motown band from Detroit, not a visiting act. Our rehearsal room is in the city, our booking office is here, and the staged revue we tour through 48 states, three voices, live horns, choreography and an MC, starts from $3,400 at home.
We have played a ballroom on Woodward, a converted warehouse by Eastern Market and a riverfront terrace with the bridge lights behind the dance floor. Detroit dates carry no travel fee and no travel day, and hometown bookings can add a rehearsal-room preview of your program before the night.
Peak Saturdays here book 12 to 18 months out, and hometown demand takes some of them before the season opens, so check your date early. The story of why this city is in our name is on the group page; the short version is that this songbook lives here.

Before you ask
Detroit questions, answered
Is there a travel fee for Detroit bookings?
No. Detroit is our home city, and any date within 150 miles of it carries no travel fee. The package price you see is the whole figure.
Do you know Detroit venues?
Many of them from the stage side. We still advance every room with your venue contact, requesting the floor plan and power spec ahead of the date, because rooms change more often than reputations do.
Do you play both weddings and corporate events in Detroit?
Yes. Our hometown calendar splits between wedding receptions and corporate shows, and the same contract, COI and booking office handle both.
Everything else a host asks first lives on the FAQ page.
The rest of the bill
Other cities the revue plays
Every city page is one stop on the same tour. Start with the Motown tribute band itself, or see everywhere we play.
