Valerie was amazing. She gets into what she is doing, so we didn't mind when she went over the time a little. She was welcomed by one of local fraternities. It's been 3 weeks since she was here and people are still talking about her. She is very down to earth, it was like talking to another student. This girl has talent and should be booked everywhere. It was a fantastic performance.

The show went very well. We had a descent size crowd of students for her to perform to. The students really enjoy her music and her in general. She was also a pleasure to work with and I know our the sound crew really enjoyed working with her as well. - University of Mary Washington, Fredericksburg, VA
Valerie Custer did an excellent job performing for our Tunes at Noon music series. Students, faculty, staff, and visiting guests really enjoyed listening to her while they ate their lunch. The show was awesome! - Columbia College, Columbia, SC
Valerie was great, and it was nice to get her in front of a larger audience than she had last time. A lot of people came up to compliment her and let me know that they thought she was great. One of the best voices in college touring music. - Penn State University - Behrend Campus, Erie, PA
