Local soul/pop vocalist Lyndsey Goodman and her skillful jazz/soul combo headline the “Evening of Jazz & Blues” event at Torch Velvet Lounge this Thursday evening. The gig is designed as a benefit for Patriot Wing Foundation, supporting families of Charleston military personnel in need (a $5 donation is requested at the door). Goodman, currently serving in the U.S. Air Force, welcomes guitarist Joe Wilson, bassist Ben “Biggy” Edwards, drummer Asa Holgate, and special guest vocalists Gaines Hill and Tim Davis to the corner stage this week for a variety of jazz, soul, blues, and pop standards. They’ve packed the house with this lineup before. Representatives from Van Gogh Vodka will be on hand with new samples along with specialty Dutch Caramel vodka as well. —T. Ballard Lesemann
