Val the Variety Show

About Me

For booking info, please email Valerie, [email protected]
Valerie LeBlanc (Vaudeville Val) and Justin Radford (Mr. Radford) met in 2009 and started collaborating, recording and playing live performances together in the Portland, OR metro area. After working on Justin’s 2009 rock opera, “Off the Spring” ( http://imaginative-studios.com/off-the-spring/ ) they went straight to work on “I’ve Got a Carnival For Brains” with Valerie tap dancing, playing accordion, saxophone, singing and beating an old candle stick holder and Justin playing drums, bass, keys and trombone. They are proud to be presenting this collection of punk cabaret, February 2010. Vaudeville Val, the world’s worst super villain, hopes to soon take over the world with her army of magical creatures and carnival characters through her hypnotic music.
