Played Marvest 2020! Fri. Nov.6 on Youtube Marvest Schedule: https://cityfolkfestival.com/marvest/ Youtube Playlist: https://bit.ly/38qMKzr Bio: If you’ve been following Ottawa music scene over the past five years, chances are you’ve heard the name Jeff deValk. The guitarist, singer, band leader and vinyl DJ has been painting Ottawa with his sonic paintbrush that touches on rock, soul and everything in between. When he’s not playing in his seven-piece soul band the Hornettes, Jeff can be found rocking out solo, or with his Falcons trio, which is what we get at Marvest. It’s time to get down with Jeff and the Falcons. More Jeff here: http://www.jeffdevalk.com/ |
