  • Bio

    .. Valerie Thompson-Boston based cellist, composer, and educator..... *Principal Cellist of ..Fluttr Effect..... ........ .... *Former Principal Cellist of the Jake Leg Jug Luggers-rip snorting old time and the Yurodivy Quintet-ecclectic avant-chamber music (both now defunct, but the spirit lives on!).... *Toured with fiddlers ..Laura Cortese.. and ..Emerald Rae...... *Scored and played cello for ..Bonylil's Creation.. (short film by Miss Zea Barker.).... *Also seen in the Neovoxer Ensemble..... *Active freelance cellist and happy to provide cello services to others for live performance or recorded media... ...... _______________________________________________.. Tale 1 from Valerieland (a true story).... One day while walking with her cello on her back, Valerie passed by a cheerful, yet homeless gentleman in Harvard Square... As Val whizzed past him, onto someplace "very important," he called out to her... "You carry your best friend with you." he said, referring to the growth on her back that some would call an instrument..... A truer word she had never heard spoken to her by a complete stranger..... _______________________________________________.. Tale 2 from Valerieland (another true story).... One day while walking with her cello on her back, Valerie passed by a man who appeared to be homeless... Taken by the instrument on her back, he engaged her with questions regarding it's nature. .. Pleasantries were exchanged. The cello was discussed, her new friend mentioned his interest in music and his ability to play the harmonica... As the conversation wrapped up and the two parties started off on their seperate ways, the gentleman took one more knowing look at Valerie and said, ...."You know, you really do have a big butt.".... Honest...that's what he said......... _______________________________________________.. Check out this hot video from a live performance at ..Voltaic Vaudeville..... That's ..Bony Lil.. on the faces and myself on the cello... ..Shot by ..MPope... Edited by ..ZBarker....._________________.... .. .. .. .. ...... Yep, it's backwards!

    The Russian Spy, The Cricket, The Tortoise, and The Street Punk all wrapped into one package of Midwestern-y goodness that has been corrupted by coffee and the rough and tumble life of the East Coast. .... Add a cello. .. .. .. And the occasional Maker's Mark.
