Crossover Jazz singer Ancil Valley goes back to the longer term. Valley and his self -titled Ancil the Band will delve deep into the funk and disco vault to drag out the timeless classics of the 70s and 80s, when he returns to the stage, on October 8, on the Achievors Banquet Hall, Duncan Village, San Fernado.
The charismatic crooner says he plans to create a Las Vegas type showcase together with his ‘Return to Retro”concert and guarantees fans an ‘ultimate throwback experience’.
‘It’s going to be, as they are saying ‘a movie’. But, considered one of those old remastered classics that you wish to watch over and over,’ Valley said of his upcoming show.
The San Fernando-born singer/songwriter says he’s wanting to exhibit the improved brass power of his musical outfit and guarantees just a few tricks and thrills.
‘It’s the perfect of the funk and disco era, music you haven’t heard and grooved to shortly, jammed live with full brass. And yuh know when that brass hit yuh what does go on, my pores raising just considering of that crisp sound and the audience’s response,’ Valley added.
Fans can expect all of the musical bells and whistles from his second live concert performance because the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. Ancil the Band played to a sold-out audience at the identical venue on the ‘All for Mom’ concert earlier this 12 months in May.
The 2013 Digicel Rising Stars winner says after two years of virtual interactions he’s over the moon on the prospect of once more coming head to head together with his adoring fanbase.
‘They keep telling me on social media how much
they’ve missed me. I would like them to know whatever they’re feeling to multiply it by 1,000 and that’s how much I’ve missed them. As an entertainer I thrive on that in-person engagement with my followers. It fuels and inspires me and keeps me going. So, operating in a vacuum, limited to social media exchanges, has been tough,’ Valley revealed.
Valley has carved a singular space in regional entertainment as a musician who promotes and creates space for contemporaries in addition to young upcoming talent. The National Youth Motion Committee (NACC) Most Versatile Vocalist awardee created the Eat, Drink, Jazz Music Festival in 2016 to create an area where established stars share the stage with newcomers.
‘Create opportunities and bringing people on different legs of the journey together is so fulfilling. Its something I definitely wish to proceed doing with the support of corporate T& T and other stakeholders,’ he winked.
