jon valenti

Start the weekend off tonight with the Jon Valenti Band live at the Copper Rhino and then party on into the weekend. The Modesto Blues Festival is scheduled for Saturday at 1:00 at Graceada Park and B93.1's Summerfest will start up at noon on Saturday as well.

I wrote about this a while ago but I have to mention it again because the event is finally just a few days away. If you have followed this site for a while you know that we are big fans of local crooner, Jon Valenti. Well, this Thursday night at 9:00 Valenti will take over the Copper Rhino and for the first time he will be accompanied by his new full band.

I just checked my voice mail (I should do that way more often) and I got some great news from local singing phenom and MAMA award winner, Jon Valenti. It seems that Valenti has been quietly working behind closed practice doors on a very cool project.

Thursday night pint nights at Copper Rhino on 10th Street are really starting to become quite popular and this week's show should continue along that same path. This week Jon Valenti will take to the stage with his unique style, self-written lyrics and sense of fun.

The new poster finally out....... more art walk to come. Dropped a draft copy of to Jon Valenti at Speak Easy tonight, see him next Thursday Night, at the State Theatre, with artists on display.

I received a phone call earlier from 2007 MAMA winner, Jon Valenti and I was pleasantly surprised as to why he called. He didn’t call to ask me to help him promote himself, he called because he wanted to tell me about a duo that has been opening for him recently.
