Angelina Valente

Angelina’s sincere music, complete with her honest lyrics, makes you really listen. With a voice so uninhibited, there’s no limit to what she can do with it. You’ll be taken through folk, bluegrass, indie, rock, and something in between all of that in one set.
Angelina grew up in Galway, New York developing a deep love for nature and quiet, both of which feed and inspire her and her music. She began writing as a way of working through the trials life throws at you, and still does so, in a self-informed and introspective way. She has since gone on to release two EPs and four singles. She played a sold-out performance at The Cock ‘n Bull restaurant just this past January and has recorded at the esteemed Village Studios in L.A., as well as the Atlantic Records Studio in New York. She is also the 2023 champion of Nippertown’s March Madness, a local voting-based competition in Upstate New York.
