Valerie Orth: Intimate Trio Show Plus Music Video Screening

Described as “sexy, soulful, genuine, and edgy” by the San Francisco Bay Guardian and an “indie folk powerhouse” by Bend’s Source Weekly, Valerie Orth is a fearless and genre-bending songwriter. Her distinctive hybrid of rock, groove, soul, and folk reaches out and grabs your attention; her live performances captivate and charm at once.  Rich with melody and metaphor, Orth’s tunes move nimbly between darkness and light, hope and despair, taking deft turns of phrase along unforeseen rhythmic twists in the road. With gorgeous, multi-octave vocals and no fear of heights, she flirts with the edge as readily as she subverts expectations.   On January 6 at the Red Poppy, while featuring the band’s newest addition, Brian Scholl on drums, Valerie will be showcasing new songs, telling you the secrets behind her songs (ssshhhh!), and screening her band’s latest music video. There will be some surprise audience participation as well… Get your creative hats on and come join us for this intimate performance.
