Black Velvet

Black Velvet consists of Terry Meredith & Lisa Bowland.

I, Terry, grew up in central Indiana, playing for gospel groups, then during the 1970’s and early 1980’s traveled the Indiana County Fair circuit doing piano and organ demos for music stores.  

A move from a small town in Indiana to Florida opened up a whole new avenue of opportunity. The mid 80’s I was working Piano Bars on Florida’s Gulf Coast and one night gigs with a female singer on the East Coast. 
Recent years I have worked in the Middle East and Europe in hotels, resorts, and restaurants. I love the Jazz Standards, but  the most exciting is to watch folks fill the dance floor to dance to their favorite tunes. 

Lisa is from Tennessee, and had performed several years with a male singing pianist, working various restaurants, clubs and private parties. After she moved to Amboy, IN she started going to karaoke with a relative, which is where we first met and I had the opportunity to hear her sing.

Our repertoire covers hundreds of songs from Country to Jazz Standards. Lisa was primarily a country singer along with some other genres, and I, having worked piano bars so many years have a repertoire spanning from Country, to Soft Pop and Jazz Standards.
