01 / Overview

A surprise pop-up to launch Vending Machine, Valley's first new song in nearly two years for their ‘Do You Need To Be Entertained?’ era. The band plays from the second-floor windows of a building on Ossington, for a full street of fans.



02 / Work

Executive production, advancing, partner and vendor sourcing, on-site execution.



03 / Review

“My only worry was that we would have way too much fun working together and create a great pop-up fan surprise show.

I still think about how thoughtful and calm they are, not only with the artists in the room, but with everyone involved in making the show and production happen.

1 + 1 = 8. Great collaborators, super knowledgeable, and excited to push the envelope of what it means to put on a live show and make it an experience.”
