Valley Forged
There’s just something about the Columbia Valley that inspires people to create beautiful art in all its many colors. Valley Forged, a Canal Flats-based band, is filling the air with their own special sound of music.
Then…
Valley Forged began one evening in late 2012 at the Columbia Inn in Canal Flats where a group of musicians were jamming. They each recognized they had something together that was really special, something that was more – that magical spark that could inspire them to be better together than apart. The rest is history, as the saying goes.
Today…
Today, Valley Forged has carved for themselves a unique place in the arts and cultural community of the area, performing at venues such as the Horse Thief Hideout, the Whitehouse Pub in Windermere, the Horsethief Pub in Radium Hot Springs, the Steamboat Mountain Festival in Edgewater, and the Fairmont Hot Springs Resort. That’s just the beginning. There’s way more to come!
A Valley Forged live show consists of their original songs plus a variety of older cover songs done in their own style.
Their debut album, Hoodoos, Horsethieves and Hideouts is pure magic and they are working on a second, which will be released in August of 2016. To purchase a Hoodoos, Horsethieves and Hideouts CD, go to: http://valleyforged.ca/contact/
