---------------------
From Portland, Oregon, Val Bauer writes songs of earnest confessionalism. They're about the struggle, but also the optimism that it's possible to not have to accept what's given us; that we're all fighting the same fight, and that we're not alone.

Through his previous EPs, Val addressed the world as an alternative singer-songwriter. His first full-length, The Spoils of War, sees him branching out to take on pop-punk influences—from favorites like Saves the Day to newer acts like Real Friends and Neck Deep—while still remaining true to those songwriter roots.

Nashville songwriter, growler, and howler. Originally from Mississippi. Noir Americana.

Getting to know my sound and style as a singer and possibly a drummer.

Might be getting more into YouTube.. (extra cringy):(https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSUNNinHEReyes) there's a lot of videos on there from when I started singing in highschool, but it's cool to see how I grow as a singer/artist.
