Velveeta, a four-person band that has been entertaining crowds for more than 17 years, started playing as a joke at The Brewery in State College. Their fan base has grown over the years and Velveeta is now considered one of the top bands performing in State College and around the area. John “Bones” Harper, drums and vocals; Brent Martin, keyboard and guitar; Brian Kriley, guitar and vocals; and John Matthews, bass and vocals; play a variety of '80s tunes with a mix of others. Song titles such as “What I Iike About You,” "I Love Rock 'n’ Roll” and “I’m a Believer,” are just a sampling of the hits in the band repertoire.
