Series 42 Presents: Valley Queen with The Vivien Leigh Documentray

Valley Queen
Valley Queen front woman Natalie Carol leads a band reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and My Morning Jacket with lead vocals evocative of Florence Welch. Their sound brings to mind the soul and power of southern rock combined with inspired and personal lyrics.

Valley Queen front woman Natalie Carol leads a band reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac and My Morning Jacket with vocals evocative of Florence Welch. Neil Wogensen (Bass & Vocals), Shawn Morones (Lead Guitar & Vocals) and Gerry Doot (drums), enrich the songs with energy, excitement and emotion.

In 2016, the band released the singles In My Place and High Expectations on Canvasback Music/Atlantic Records to wide acclaim, and have played lauded shows at an array of venues, opening for Reggie Watts, Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, LP, Laura Marling, Springtime Carnivore and The Wild Reeds, as well as headlining the Echo Park Rising Festival, Pappy & Harriet's and The Echoplex. Theyve been featured in the lineups at Lightning in a Bottle, River Roots Live, NPR's Tiny Desk Contest Tour and Willie Nelson's Luck Reunion.
Pranav Trewn from Stereogum praised that Valley Queen has never sounded better than they do on In My Place, and Bob Boilen from NPRs All Songs Considered believes that Valley Queen comes from the Neil Young school of great music."
February 2017 marks the debut of Valley Queen's premiere EP, featuring their newest songs produced by Lewis Pesacov (Best Coast, Nikki Lane, Fool's Gold, FIDLAR). The songs show the band's sonic evolution since their first release, and will set the stage for an exciting year to come.

At first it was simply the voice that shook me. Ive seen them shake the walls at a few venues around the country now, one of which was here at NPRits members played like veterans. Valley Queens music is rich with nuance and depth, rooted deep in California country. Here is an early glimpse of some growing talent. - Bob Boilen NPR
