Feed The Wolf, the sophomore release by the New York rockers features multiple collaborations with the legendary Dr. Funkenstein (8.23.19)

"Miss Velvet's voice is the definition of Rock n Roll." - GEORGE CLINTON

NEW YORK - Californer -- When it comes to music legends there's none greater than the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame and Grammy Lifer George Clinton. New York rock band Miss Velvet & The Blue Wolf have been touring the globe with Clinton and Parliament/Funkadelic since 2017. Two years and 100 plus concerts later, Clinton teams up on record with Miss Velvet & The Blue Wolf for their sophomore album Feed The Wolf (Isotopia Records) due 8/23/2019 via all digital platforms and select retailers nationwide on CD and Vinyl. The lead single "Phat Blunt ft. George Clinton" features the incendiary vocals of Miss Velvet and tight grooves of the Blue Wolf amidst a collection which Music Talkers(UK) describes as a "sensational, soulful, electric setlist."

Miss Velvet & The Blue Wolf, like the Clinton produced Red Hot Chili Peppers before them, were influenced by the seminal funk of Parliament/Funkadelic and have counted Clinton as a musical hero. That reverence led them to Detroit where they recorded their critically acclaimed debut album Bad Get Some at the legendary United Sound recording studio. While on tour with Clinton in Europe in 2018, the band took time to record tracks for what would become Feed The Wolf at Ireland's Grouse Lodge, the world-class studio and creative setting known for hosting Michael Jackson and R.E.M. When asked why he decided to join the wolf pack from New York, Clinton simply shares "Miss Velvet's voice is the definition of Rock n Roll" echoing the views of global rock critics who have drawn comparisons from Janice Joplin to Robert Plant concluding "her voice is an instrument in its own right."
