"Valerie Nebbia is one of those artists who you can say, 'I booked her before she was famous' and brag about to your friends that you ahd the inside scoop. In an age of American Idol image is everything. it's nice to see a vocalist who's gone back to the basics-- creating music for the mind from the soul for all the right reasons." - BHR
"There's really not a house big enough in the entire world for Valerie's voice. It's not that her voice is loud, it's more than that. Hearing her perform is like swallowing the sun. Her voice is as smooth as melting chocolate, just as rich, and startling in its nuances."
"That performance was gutsy and bold. Honestly, I couldn't breathe." - BHR

Bio
When singer Valerie Nebbia opens up her heart and her voice it's hard to breathe. Her voice is bigger than the most enormous venue and when she sings, she tells everyone's story. She explains the doubts and fears and hopes we wonder if anyone else has felt.
The Annapolis, Maryland native climbed over her three brothers' hockey sticks, GI Joes, and Nintendo controllers to reach for her father’s guitar and to speak the truth about home and good cooking but also about the blood and grit that is life.
Surrounded by the sounds of CCR, Simon & Garfunkel, Talking Heads, Brit-pop, and Neil Young, Valerie blended these influences with a healthy dose of Patty Griffin to form her own sound. The Calvin College graduate has emerged as a literate songwriter possessing introspective, gospel/spiritual, sad-girl/strong-woman, honest, gutsy, vulnerable artistry.
Can she sing? Yeah! This is a voice with power, finesse, and a blues edge that pulls at the proverbial heart strings until they almost break. But don't get too distracted by the voice of this angel. Valerie Nebbia has something to say.
