Bobby Jo Valentine

Hey folks. It’s me!

Last month was a chaotic, awesome haze of touring. I loved it. The Grand Finale concert was recorded and also streamed live…thank you for all the people that watched!

Tonight, I have a show at The Mystic Theatre in Petaluma, CA. It’s one of my biggest yet, and I’m really excited about it! Doors are at 7pm, and I’m opening for The Mighty Diamonds. You can grab your tickets HERE.

Stay tuned for more cool announcements, and as always, thanks for being a part of the journey!

Much love,

BJV

AHH Excitement!

Hey everybody. Well, I’m overwhelmed. Last Friday’s concert was AMAZING. Thank you so much for a packed house of wonderful fans. On the bottom of the post here, I’m going to put a video of one of my brand new songs I played live for you guys…but first, some super exciting announcements!

1. THE GRAND FINALE!

At the end of my July tour (I have 35 concerts booked now), I’m going to be having a Grand Finale Concert here in Petaluma. For those of you who are farther away, I’m going to be using Ustream, an amazing online live program, to stream the concert for everybody across the world who’d like to watch. More details soon!

2. Come to a House Concert!

Most of the July tour are house concerts – wonderful living room concerts with friends in an intimate setting. If you would like to go to one, I’m allowed to bring a few RSVP’s to each one. Please visit my July Tour page to learn more and to RSVP. They’re free to attend!

3. Music Video

This is a VERY special announcement.

Today, at 4pm, I arrived home after a long, exciting 7 days of setup and shooting of my very first music video. The music video director is extremely talented and I believe one of the best in the industry today, the child actor was incredible, the set was amazing…

that’s all I can tell you for now, but stay tuned for a big Music Video Release party in August and some teaser photos as the dates get closer!

4. Live Video!

Hey everybody, Bobby Jo Valentine here. The sun is finally deciding to show her face out here in CA, and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve been working hard, meeting some amazing people, and have some exciting news to share with you!

The Big One!

First, be sure to make it out to my Big Concert next Friday, June 17th! It’s at Max’s Cafe in Corte’ Madera, and we’ll be playing from 8-10:30. Every month I try and get together my full band and play you guys some tunes, and this is it! When I say we, I mean my amazing drummer, Trent, my equally amazing guitarist, Dennis of The Courtney Janes fame, and a new guy on the scene, Julian, who plays an UPRIGHT BASS! WOOT!

It’s going to be a fantastic night, so cancel all your Iphone dates and c’mon! Click the “Big Concert” link above to RSVP and to invite some more friends along. If you RSVP, you’ll be entered to win a drawing for a T-shirt and Signed Album! Woot! The T-shirts are brand new, can’t wait for you to see them!

July House Concert Tour

Now here’s the REALLY BIG news.

I’ve been working hard and booking heavy for a tour down the coast of CA to Los Angeles and back. I have 32 concerts booked, almost all of them intimate, warm house concerts. And you’re invited! If you’re in the area of one of the house concerts, and you’d like to come, there’s a chance that the host will allow me to bring a few respectful fans out with me to enjoy a great night of music. It’ll be a great way to kick some of that summer boredom and come out and enjoy some music with me!

Here’s how this works: If you see a location and date that would work for you in the calendar, and you can commit to the date, please RSVP with the date of the concert you’d like to attend and how many spots you’d like to reserve. If there are still spots open, I’ll email you back the details.

Whew! 33 concerts in 31 days! That’s a lot of concerts! But I’m excited!

Once again, if you find one that you can make it to, please RSVP with the desired date  the number of friends coming with you. Look forward to seeing you soon!

Much Love and Music,

Bobby

And you say you’d rather be alone,
That you’re a one-person home,
And dark is the throne where your love should be
But I say there’s stars in the night,
There’s black but there’s white,
And warm is the light when you’re here with me.*

Little song I’m working on. It’s almost there, there are a few rough edges to carve down. The grindstone is busy.

Hello all you beautiful people. Yes, you. No, not…no. You. Right there in the chair, on the Iphone, the Droid, wherever you are, wandering through the electric highway with gears grinding, smoke billowing, and something snazzy playing on the speakers. There are a couple of wonderful things that make me happy and deserve sharing.

1) July House Concert Tour

Get your life jacket on.

In July, every day, I’m going to be traveling down the Coast of California doing intimate, personal, warm, packed-out concerts in some wonderful people’s living rooms. July 1st-31st, every night, a house concert. A simple, wonderful, and intimate way to spread music that’s worth spreading.

There are still a few days available! If you are:

A)  interested,
B) live between San Francisco and San Diego, CA,
C) can round up 20-60 family and friends into your living room for a concert,

Then this could work! Email me using this email: bobbyjovalentine@gmail.com

Please specify WHERE you’re at and, if you have only a specific date you’re available, when that would be. I’ll gladly respond with the specifics.

2) Singles

We’ve been in the studio a little bit these past few months, working on a few new singles. I realize that mentioning nothing else about the singles is rather mean, but all I can say is this: I’M SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THESE TUNES!

Here are a couple easy links to share to your favorite friends:

There are a lot of other things in the works-all wonderful and exciting! Keep checking back, and I’ll keep letting you know! Love you all!

Much Love and Music,
