Hello friends,

Happy Spring! Happy Daylight Savings Time! On April 16, the weekend before I go back to China, I've planned a concert at The Cornelia Street Cafe with some of New York's most phenomenal musicians:

(in alphabetical order): Bashiri (Whitney Houston, Celine Dion & more), Fred Cash (Morley, Toshi Reagon, Adam Holtzman & more), Tuey Connell (Tuey just shared the stage with Diane Reeves) and Ann Klein (Joan Osborne, PM Dawn, Natalie Imbruglia, Toshi Reagon, & more).

And....since my next birthday happens to fall while I'll be in China, we'll be having a pre-celebration for my birthday, too!

So pick out some beautiful clothes (or not, as you like), smile at the longer days, enjoy the warmer weather and let us bring you some good feeling, all-around joyous and heartfelt music!

Valerie Ghent has dedicated her life to creating music, performing around the world, and encouraging others' creative energy though music events. A native downtown New Yorker with a strikingly powerful voice, a funk-blues piano style and “soul-stirring, uplifting songs full of vitality and joy", Valerie's performances have been described as “truly great and invigorating", “absolutely magnificant", “amazingly gifted" and, “an inspiration, Valerie is an unsung hero (who sings!!)". Valerie has worked with Songwriter's Hall of Fame inductees Ashford & Simpson since 1989, runs her own independent record label, West Street Records, curates music events at The Cornelia St Cafe, organizes benefit concerts, works with several non-profit organizations, has founded The World Foundation for Music and Healing, is finishing her fourth CD release and has photographs included in various publications and at the Westbeth Gallery. http://valghent.com
