Sam Valdez & Rodes Rollins at The Firefly Lounge
The Firefly Presents: Sam Valdez Rodes Rollins Hooves & Beak Laguna Largo with special liquid light show by Peyton Hamblin 21+ | 9PM | $10 adv, $12 dos
Sam Valdez is a Los Angeles based singer-songwriter, whose music is built upon the fusion of shoe-gaze and vintage Americana indie folk. Embodying the best of both genres, Valdez has created dreamy, yet haunting atmospheric soundscapes that resonate with her listeners. Valdez grew up at the edge of the Nevada desert, in Las Vegas and credits the desert as a major influence in her writing and composing. The vastness and solitude of desert life is apparent throughout her writing, with cinematic resonance and euphoric arrangements. After performing in numerous bands, she found the essence of her solo sound and decided to run with it, indulging in her own creative process and ultimately developing a sound that is true to her own. As a classically trained violinist, Valdez has a sense of musical maturity within her songs, adding technicalities that bring her to the forefront of her genre.
If a spaghetti western and Nancy Sinatra had a love child, it would be Rodes Rollins. The 23-year-old singer could fool you into thinking shes from another time, care of her haunting vocals and sprawling psychedelic-tinged Americana rhythms. But its 2019 and Rollins proves that her music transcends space and time.
Hooves & Beak is a chamber-pop quartet, led by multi-instrumentalist Whitney Flinn on harp. She is joined by a band featuring violin, percussion, and electric bass. Drawing on influences ranging from Joni Mitchell, Ella Fitzgerald, and Fiona Apple to Art Tatum, Lou Reed, and The Butthole Surfers, Whitney's raw and brutally honest songwriting style is accompanied by heartfelt harp arpeggios woven with the band's intricate melodic patterns.
