Valerie Rose Irish Band
Overview
Valerie Rose presents songs and dance tunes from the great Irish / Celtic tradition. Hearkening back to the pioneers of the Celtic folk music revival such as Clannad and Altan, Valerie’s arrangements of traditional Irish tunes and songs are spiced with rich harmonies and playful interchanges between voice and instruments. Audiences find captivating the pure, haunting quality of her voice and the vibrant intensity of her fiddling. With each piece, she brings to life the transcendent beauty of Celtic melodies and the joyous energy of the Irish tradition’s jigs, reels and hornpipes.

December 10, 2024Christmas Celtic Family Concert
A delightful trio performing some Celtic Music and more modern Christmas songs encouraging the audience to sing along and enjoy the spirit of the season. A nice balance with Violin, Flute and guitar . Jason Pollack and Sylvia Herold added versatility and variety to the program.

March 20, 2022Excellent Celtic music
It was an absolute pleasure working with Valerie Rose. Valerie Rose, Jason and Lewis played beautiful music at my husband's Celebration of Life Service. Their music was enjoyed by all including those in Ireland who live-streamed the service.

Susan, it was a pleasure meeting you. It was a beautiful event and we enjoyed playing Irish music in honor of your husband. It was so generous of you to invite us to partake of the wonderful food.
Thank you, and we hope to play Irish music for you again in the future.

December 28, 2021Wonderful!
Had The Valerie Rose Band play at a friend's 100th Birthday Party a week ago and they were awesome!
They played music for all the ages in attendance and everyone loved them! Another high light
was when they had the crowd do a few sing a long songs. That was a big hit! I'd hire them again in a heart beat! In fact, the place where the event was held even wants to keep their contact info so they can hire them in the future too! Also, Valerie was more than a pleasure to work with! Don't think you can wrong with The Valerie Rose Band!
