Chris Valenti http://chrisvalentimusic.net If you’ve ever been frustrated by a relationship and you have a twisted, but healthy sense of humor, then Chris Valenti is the artist for you. Chris takes his romantic failures and frustrations personally and pours them out to you straight from his wry, twisted heart. Valenti\'s songs of struggles, blunders, and missed opportunities radiate the painfully funny universal suffering we all endure. His show is part music, part comedy, part therapy, and part romance - as well as action, adventure, mystery and sometimes horror. A philosopher of love - usually, the kind of love that did not exactly make it to that \'happily ever after\' place, Chris writes and performs songs that touch upon the common truths of the humorous lives of single people. Songs like Passive Aggressive, about the cute little problems that get blown out of proportion in every sweet, loving relationship, and The Ghost of Your Ex, about dates who can\'t stop talking about their ex-boyfriends, strike close to home for those who can not reel in the full attention of their present partner. Don\'t Pass Out is a plea and warning to men and women everywhere to curb excessive drinking, especially on first dates. The upcoming album includes It\'s Hard to Find Someone Good Enough For Me, which nails the single person\'s core issue head on - and was featured on The Dr. Phil Show – and Everyone Can Be Replaced, a positive look at the end of relationships. Most shows end with Chris\'s new approach to women, Booty Call. A hopeful romantic with a wry sense of humor, Chris has the knack for using self-deprecation and vulnerability to write songs about the hazards and frustrations of love and attempted relationships. He’s become the cheerful motivator for the unlucky in love, because the best cure for a broken heart is laughing at someone else\'s.

Each day the TV, radio, and Internet feed us an endless stream of frighteningly bad news. Missing person tragedies are about as horrible as living nightmares come. When the media catches on to one of these, the story often captures our darkest imagination and deepest fears. Usually the outcome – if there is one – is terribly sad. But every now and then, a headline will shock us with something amazingly wonderful. Like the day Elizabeth Smart was found.

Monday I will be performing a song at West LA Music for the kick-off of this year’s Squeaky Wheel Tour. Elizabeth Smart will be the guest speaker.

The Squeaky Wheel Tour is a three week event where musicians all over the country promote a missing person at their shows. My Squeaky Wheel show will be at Genghis Cohen Saturday Oct 29th at 8:30. Created by Jannel Rap, the Squeaky Wheel Tour is now in its tenth year. Eleven years ago, on Oct 17, 2000, Jannel’s sister Gina Bos went missing in Lincoln NE. She hasn’t been found. Jannel’s search for her sister has resulted in an organization that has searched for missing all over the world, GINA For Missing People (411Gina.org). A segment of my documentary, 800 CDs, was about Jannel and GINA. Watch the clip here – http://youtu.be/pW4JdqxyWx8 Ten people featured in the original version of that clip have been located, so I’ve had to continually update the movie. Eleven hundred missing people have been located since Jannel first started her movement.

Monday will be a huge media event. But you are more than welcome to attend. You should register to get on the list – http://www.westlamusic.com/squeakywheel.html I will be performing. It should be quite an amazing night.

Songs. Stand up. Laughing. Not a five minute showcase. Not a ten minute teaser. A FULL HOUR show!! Ok, 50 minutes. But still…

It’s the kind of show I do out on the road. Except this time it’s here in Los Angeles! You don’t have to go to the airport, pay for 6 days of car storage in Lot C, then change planes in Vegas or Phoenix, just to see my full show in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, or New Mexico. I’m not saying that wouldn’t be worth it – it would. But, parking at Genghis Cohen is free. The cover is only $8. Coming to this show will demonstrate your fiscal responsibility.

So, let’s hang out Saturday. Good Chinese food. Good friends. New friends. New material. Drinks after the show. And free parking.

Genghis Cohen – 740 N Fairfax Ave – Los Angeles, CA 90069 – See you there!

I’m looking forward to playing the House of Blues Voodoo Lounge Saturday night. This bar is a part of what used to be called The Porch Restaurant on the 2nd floor. It is a laid back all wood “bar” atmosphere with a beautiful view of LA. It’s a great place to relax and hear some great music… as well as the stuff that I do….
