An Evening with Suzanne Vallie
NOON Projects is pleased to present an Evening with Suzanne Vallie as the next artist in our ongoing concert series.
Suzanne Vallie is a poet and songwriter. Her musical work mixes country-toned dreaminess and a beachy pace. Her dusky, homemade style nods to Karen Dalton and Vashti Bunyan.
Her album, Love Lives Where Rules Die, was released on Los Angeles based label Night Bloom.
After a hard spell, heartbroken and drifting, Suzanne Vallie aimed to make a driving record rich with sympathy, high romance, and dedicated to the magic of good-timing. Other themes on the album include dogs, surfers, and the supernatural.
In her live performances, Vallie is known for storytelling and improvised lyrics. Her performance at NOON Projects will be an intimate performance, with pieces from Love Lives Where Rules Die and new, previously unheard songs.
She lives between South Dakota and California.
Love Lives Where Rules Die review
"Once in a blue moon you hear a record so disarmly special that you want to demand people stop what they’re doing and listen. The warm and dusky sweep of Big Sur poet and songwriter Suzanne Vallie’s latest effortlessly carries it from start to finish and back around again. It’s a break-up record, and an impeccable example of soulful folk with shades of Karen Dalton, Vashti Bunyan, and down-home nods to Bob Dylan’s Nashville Skyline. But it’s Vallie’s own tone that carries it, from the slow pulse of Ocean Cliff Drive to the majestic Beauty From The Blue Country, on to the ramshackle singalong of High With You; a marriage of lyrical acuity and dulcet voice."
