Band Members: Valerie Webb, Peter Kansas, Noah Bartfield, Vinny FazioSigned to her first publishing contract at age 15, and accepted at age 16 to the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA, songwriter Valerie Webb could never have anticipated where music would take her. What started as a solo acoustic recording project (Chords & Chaos ©2005) for then 12 year old Valerie, quickly snowballed into a full band electric juggernaut. Valerie formed Venomentality in January 2005 and for four years now, Valerie, along with lead guitarist Peter Kansas, (Berklee College of Music) have consistently played shows in the north eastern US, including high profile events such as the Virgin Megastore Mashup, the Union Square NYU Back to School Blow Out, Albany's annual Larkfest Hometown Stage, and The Greenfield Rock Festival in MA, to name a few. In February of 2008, they added another Berklee student, Noah Bartfield, on bass, and in July of 2008 they welcomed drummer Vinny Fazio. Many other great musicians sub in with Valerie during school semesters but her songs and performances remain hard hitting and dynamic at every show!Venomentality is known as a “chameleon band,†able to morph into whatever the event or venue calls for. They can play full electric outdoor festivals and then scale it all down to an intimate acoustic coffee house show. There is no profanity or inappropriate lyrics in the material so Venomentality can appeal to all ages!Valerie’s first full length CD with Venomentality, entitled “Heart And Dagger†was released in Dec 2007, and won a consignment deal with Union Square Virgin Megastore. Her songs can be heard on many radio stations and on line streaming programs spanning the US, Canada and Europe!People I dream of one day working with: Ben Gibbard, Jason Wade, Jason Mraz, Tom Chaplin, Matt Thiessen, Hanson, Lacey Mosley
