Welcome to the official website for Valerie Day

Dynamic and self assured, Valerie Day has a voice that is evocative of another time, yet refreshingly modern. Gifted singer, skilled percussionist, in-demand session player and passionate advocate for arts education, Valerie is an artist of rare talent and dedication. First appearing on the world's stage in the 80's with the Pop/R&B band NU SHOOZ, she has since performed and recorded with a wide spectrum of artists ranging from the Oregon Symphony Pops to pianist Tom Grant, guitarist Dan Balmer, pianist Darrell Grant, celebrated jazz artist David Frishberg, and many others.

Valerie's most recently released a CD with her husband John as the NU SHOOZ Orchestra. Lyrical and dreamlike, playful and sublime, PANDORA'S BOX takes the iconic 80’s band into strange new worlds filled with Spy music, Tarzan movies, Debussy, and their signature brand of deadpan funk played by a band Gil Evans would have loved.
