Come join us on November 17th as we celebrate the one-year anniversary of SJSW at the LSPU Hall! 🥳 🎉. There will be cake, door prizes, and an incredible set by our lovely featured reader, Valmy! Hope to see you all there :)
Valmy is an award-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Ontario who’s been following the ocean and making home on the East Coast. Exploring themes of wonder, loss, and healing, she uses her folk-influenced music to tell stories about loving and stumbling your way through the dark. Based in St. John’s, Newfoundland, Valmy creates and performs by weaving nature-inspired melodic swells and atmospheric harmonies with her contemplative writing, as is demonstrated through her debut full-length album ‘The In Between’. Independently released in September 2023 and warmly received by listeners, this record received a thoughtful review by Tony Ploughman of Fred’s Records: “The rhythms and melodies wrap around the mind and soul like a lovingly patched quilt…There is a cohesiveness to this full album offering meditative musings on balancing one’s own mental state in harmony with nature, the songs providing a methodical process to achieve that balance. And the underlying intensity to follow through on the beckoning of one’s thoughts and emotions to create is constant…Deftly produced, engineered and mixed, “The In Between” is one of 2023’s finest NL Releases”. Valmy’s been nominated for 1 ECMA and 5 MusicNL awards since the album’s release, was the 2024 “MusicNL Solo Artist of the Year” recipient, and recently concluded her Solo Tour across Eastern Canada this Autumn.
Open mic slots are capped at 15 and are on a first-come first-serve basis, so, if you want to read, make sure you come early!
