Valerie performs with pianist Ben Darwish at a special event presented by The Bus Project – an organization that, in their own words, “has mobilized thousands of volunteers and activists around the state of Oregon. We bring voters out of the woodwork. We create forums to learn about candidates and policy issues. The BusPAC works to elect the best progressive candidates in the state. We do it all, with one constant: combining fun and politics.
The Wheelies – is their version of “a red carpet evening of live music and video, kibbitzing political figures, rousing speechifying and trophies for the bravest of politicians, civic-minded do-gooders and selfless volunteers”. And there are even musical guests!
