Valley Jazz Voices has performed live at many jazz and community venues such as Northampton's First Night, Hawks and Reed Performance Center, Gateway City Arts, 121 Club, Mill 180 Park, Flywheel, Easthampton Cultural Chaos, The Blue Room @ CitySpace, and Artwalk. VJV first opened for and sang with five-time Grammy nominee, Karrin Allyson, in May of 2018. We had the pleasure of singing with Karrin again in our May 2, 2021 virtual concert, “Some of that Sunshine.”
The group values performing for seniors and usually performs twice per season at senior residences in Western Mass. During the pandemic, VJV has developed an exciting live stream/pre-recorded concert and collaboration with Northampton Open Media.
