Velvet - Dark Band & Music Portfolio Template

This template gives you a complete band portfolio with a dark, high-impact aesthetic and animated waveform equalizer that creates a live music atmosphere with Ken Burns zoom effect on the hero background image and grain texture overlay for authentic analog atmosphere—perfect for musicians, bands, and artists who want to stand out. All the design elements are professionally crafted, so you don't need design skills or technical knowledge to make it work.

The technical parts are already handled. Your fans see the animated 24-bar waveform on load, tour dates with color-coded availability status (available, sold-out, presale), and mobile slide-over navigation, staggered entrance animations for card grids, sticky two-column layouts on detail pages, and showcase cards with rotated vertical labels on the homepage—all done. Focus on your music instead of building features from scratch.

Who This Is For

• Independent musicians and bands building their online presence and selling merch directly to fans
• Solo artists who need professional portfolio layouts to attract booking agents and industry contacts
• Music producers and DJs showcasing releases, tour dates, and video content in one cohesive site
• Small record labels representing multiple artists who need a template they can customize per act
• Live performers who need tour date management with sold-out and presale status displays
• Emerging artists moving beyond social media to own their digital presence and brand

Best Use Cases

Artist Portfolio & Press Kit

Present your discography, upcoming shows, and video content in a professional layout that works for press kits and industry pitches. The Ken Burns zoom effect on hero images, grain texture overlay, and showcase cards with rotated labels help booking agents and venue coordinators quickly find what they need—your best tracks, available dates, and contact information.

Direct-to-Fan Merch Sales

Display your merch with high-quality product pages that showcase vinyl, apparel, prints, and physical media. Each item gets its own detail page with descriptions and pricing. While checkout isn't built in, you can add links to your existing store or payment platform to direct fans where to purchase.

Tour Date & Event Management

Show your full tour schedule with color-coded status indicators for available tickets, sold-out shows, and presale announcements. Fans see dates, venues, and cities at a glance. The responsive layout works on mobile, which is how most people check show dates when they're making plans with friends.

Video & Visual Content Hub

Showcase music videos, live sessions, and behind-the-scenes content with dedicated video pages. Each video gets a detail page with type labels (Music Video, Live Session) and stored duration data. The glassmorphic play button overlays with smooth hover animations create an interactive experience that brings visual polish to your video content. The video grid uses staggered entrance animations and each video detail page features a sticky two-column layout that keeps video thumbnails visible as fans scroll through descriptions.
