Hi Live Music Lovers!
Well, just like that… we are closed again.
Listen, this has been a very tough year for artists and for venues, and for you, the people who LOVE and SUPPORT LIVE MUSIC. We need to stay hopeful, stay patient and know that we will get to the other side of this, but right now, we need to stay safe… which means we need to stay home and let the music come to us! We are rising to this crisis by offering live streams from the G.A.R. Hall and from the Bronson Memorial Church Building! We are actually very excited about the expanded audience this allows us to reach, although, there is certainly nothing better than being at the G.A.R. Hall or the Bronson Church, but this is the next best thing to being there!
So until we can meet again in person, please support the artists, and Voices in the Valley at the G.A.R. Hall and at the Bronson Church, by purchasing a ticket to watch your favorite NE Ohio stars safely at home. Take care my friends…These beloved venues will be back, and we cannot wait to see you all again!
Sincerely,
Karen Walters

January 30th – The Thor Platter Trio is coming back to the G.A.R. Hall for a live-stream event. Bluegrass, blues and Country.: Born and raised in Buffalo, local singer-songwriter Thor Platter received a good dose of classic rock as a youth when his sister introduced him to her record collection. She had albums by guys such as Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan. Thor took these early influences and forged his own songwriting style, built around a strong vocal style and a great group of musians backing him up. We are excited to welcome the Trio back to Hall and even more excited to be able to safely share their music with you. Please join us!
Tickets $15
