Mr. Smalls Presents
The Velveteers, a rock trio from Denver, CO made up of singer/guitarist Demi Demitro and drummers Baby Pottersmith and Jonny Fig, spent most of 2022-2023 performing on tours with Greta Van Fleet and The Black Keys. They released their debut album Nightmare Daydream on Easy Eye Sound, produced by Grammy Award-winning artist Dan Auerbach.
Growing up in local DIY music scenes, Demitro developed a unique songwriting style for the band through her raw distorted baritone guitar playing and heart grabbing vocals. Joined by Pottersmith and Fig playing on a conjoined drum kit, the band quickly gained a reputation for their rip-roaring and out of control performances. Clips of the band’s live shows and DIY videos made it back to Auerbach, who invited them to his studio in Nashville to produce Nightmare Daydream.
“I instantly dug them,” says Auerbach. “They’re amazing live, and their videos are so creative. And they just sound so powerful. Any time you doubletrack drums on a record, it’s going to sound so heavy. Then you put that together with this baritone guitar player who is so unique, and it’s so bombastic. There’s nothing like them.”
