About Val Emmich:
Val Emmich's new album SUNLIGHT SEARCHPARTY is loose and fearlessly raw, recorded almost entirely live to tape, complete with mistakes, chatter, party noise, and slightly out-of-tune instruments. An album that embodies the fundamental reasons Emmich started playing music in the first place: because it was fun and it felt good. The title represents the struggle to find hope, inspiration and happiness that Emmich and his comrades have faced over the years. For more information visit: www.valemmich.com.
