The Velvet Note is open only on Friday and Saturday evenings beginning at 4 p.m.; shows typically take place at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The Velvet Note’s acoustic living room only seats 40 people, so space is limited—especially when some of the big names in jazz and blues from around the country come to visit.

Upcoming acts include jazz and soul chanteuse Karla Harris (Saturday, December 1) and three-piece rock-fusion band Telegram (Friday, December 7), whose members weave warm sonic tapestries with smoky, heartfelt vocals, a pulsing standup bass, and minimalist drums. Performing on Saturday, December 8, singer Alvin Maddox Stone belts out a set list of Christmas songs and draws comparisons to big-band greats such as Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole.

The Velvet Note

No strangers to the stage themselves, the board of directors at The Velvet Note built the intimate venue as a musician’s dream of exquisite natural acoustics. On its carefully crafted soundstage sits a 1924 Baldwin Model M baby grand piano, which serves an endless lineup of locally and nationally renowned acts. In between applause and using their index fingers as maestro batons, visitors can occupy their hands with food from The Velvet Note’s menu, featuring lobster cobb salad, black mussels in garlic butter, and all manner of classic southern desserts. Run by musicians for musicians, the club creates an up-close-and-personal environment where performers and fans can actually mingle.

The Groupon Guide to: Famous Hats

Every historical figure of any significance wore a now instantly recognizable hat, synonymous with their name:

  • The Napoleon Hat: Military bicorn, worn side to side or "athwart" to serve as a better perch for enlisted falcons
  • The Benjamin Franklin Hat: Small brass beanie with a large conductive spire jutting out of it, topped with a small eyelet for tethering a kite
  • The Davy Crockett Hat: Famously a strict vegetarian, Crockett's "coonskin" was actually just a matted blob of reeds and buffalo chips that he moistened hourly from his canteen
  • The Hercules Hat: Just a minotaur skull

Honorable Mention: Jughead's "hat" from the Archie comics is actually a crown (?) made of gray paper (?) with miscellaneous shapes affixed to it. Details remain vague because it is proven that overscrutinizing Jughead's hat makes you go insane.

Which historical figure had the most famous hat? The answer may surprise you.
