I’ve been busy getting my new album (Water, Ashes & Wood) ready to send off to CDBaby for manufacturing, and I’ve also been playing some really fun shows!

Last week I performed in Carlton with Big Love, a folk/rock band with 4 women and all original music. I’m on keyboard and mandolin in this band, and I can modestly say, we rocked the house!

I’m quite honored to be part of a new group (all women also!) called Awaken Jane, and will be playing with them in Dayton, OR at the end of October.

This week I’m heading to Oakland, CA for the FAR-West Conference. I’ll be playing 5 showcases, and meeting lots of new people… definitely looking forward to it! I’ll also get to see some friends and family in the Bay Area which is a great bonus.

Kickstarter backers will get to download my new album within the next day from Bandcamp. The album will be available on line at a variety of sites, and at shows starting in December. In the meantime, stay tuned as I’ll be releasing the first single in November, and will also start Itunes presales then.

xo,
Val
