Val Emmich
"Audience"

Released in 2012

Val Emmich is a singer-songwriter from New Jersey. He's also an actor and published writer. There's really not much he can't do. Oh yeah, he was the cover story of the very first issue of Upstage Magazine. I can still remember the photo shoot... Val is one of my favorite songwriters of all-time and many of his albums appear in this Hall of Fame.
