Purple Room Restaurant and Stage Pride Weekend Kickoff with Singer/songwriter Bobby Jo Valentine

Kicking off Pride Weekend at Purple Room Restaurant and Stage with a free show on Thursday, November 6, will be singer and recently named “Songwriter of the Year” by the West Coast Songwriter’s Association Bobby Jo Valentine with his brand of hopeful folk/pop and infectious vocal melodies. San Francisco area-based Valentine’s music was featured in the television commercial for the 2013 Ford Fusion. A master lyricist, Valentine also received two West Coast Songwriters Association “Best Song” awards for his songs Somedays and Fly, both on his new album, A Place to Belong. Valentine’s other two albums are Home and By My Side. Alexa Spieler of A-List Music gives Valentine 5 out of 5 stars and writes, “If Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz and Regina Spektor combined forces, you would have Bobby Jo Valentine. Soulful and uplifting, soothing and calming, Valentine’s music is the perfect blend of indie and modern pop/rock.” “Witty wordplay, clever melodies…the nicest guy to ever pick up an acoustic guitar,”
says LA WEEKLY Valentine also received 5 out of 5 stars from music industry veteran Brian Lucey (The Black Keys, The Shins, Sigur Ros) who states “Bobby writes with a sweetness and honesty seldom heard in acoustic pop music.”
 The Bobby Jo Valentine show starts at 7:30pm. To make your reservations, visit www.purpleroompalmsprings.com or call 760.322.4422. Dinner service begins at 6:30 p.m.
