Welcome to Valerie Troutt Projects
Valerie Troutt JazzSoul Vocalist, Composer, Live Music Preservationist
“This age of American Idol and Disney-approved singers has no room for a big, brassy woman who takes no shit and can really belt one out. From Big Mama Thornton to Etta James all the way to Patti Labelle, every generation has had one but ours. It's like when Chuck D asked all those years ago, "Who stole the soul?" Thank goddess for Valerie Troutt and the Fear Of a Fat Planet Crew. During college Valerie was mentored by jazz vocalist Dianne Reeves, Troutt approaches R&B standards, house grooves, and her original socially conscious jazz and soul compositions with the verve of the missing masters.” -D. Scot Miller, S.F. Weekly.

We celebrate, commemorate, dance and uplift our community to inspire them to live one more queer day!
They Wore Love & Resistance: Songs of Truth, Love, Freedom & Justice is a revival of song claiming space for the future with a promise of liberation and groove. The evening features Funk soul vocalist ToryTeasly, folk singers Melanie DeMore,
