Valerie has performed throughout New Jersey in a distinguished career. She is among the inaugural recipients of the New Jersey Heritage Fellowships from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
Her evocative songs earned the Ocean County Commission’s Special Award and the Pine Barrens Festival Award for preserving “the culture, heritage, and natural beauty” of the Pinelands.
She has appeared at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and in televised specials, shared the stage with the legendary Pete Seeger, and spun musical tales in England.
The very appropriately entitled Makin Waves Song of the Week, "Wave," is the second single from Tusk guitarist-vocalist Scott McDonald's forthcoming solo LP.
