Blue Valentine
Blue Valentine is a groovy liitle duo that
can be easily coaxed to perform
with other bands including their favorite touring
partners, The Infidels. George Batista (guitar,
mandolin, bass, harmonica and vocals) and
Johnna Zimmerman-Batista (guitar, flutes,
accordion, harmonica, percussion and vocals)
perform mainly in Texas but are looking to put together a national tour in 2006.
"Wake Up Call" (2003) is a collection of 17
songs recorded live at various venues around
Texas and "We See You" (2005) is the debut studio
release for Blue Valentine, with 12 original songs
including "Andrea Yates" as heard on NPR.Have you performed in front of an audience?Blue Valentine loves to play live.
Our most memorable moments thus far
have been opening for John Dee Graham
and playing with The Infidels.
