Valencia started playing at the local dive bar Guy. The drummer discovered his love of music while listening to his aunt's collection of records. The bassist use to listen to cassette tape constantly as a kid. The members of Valencia met in 1987. The group used to sell their tapes out of their truck on the street.

The years of paying their dues paid off when Valencia signed a record deal. The group played for little to no money at first and was just happy to be given a chance to be heard. Valencia were uneasy after releasing the first recording, but were happy when they heard their music on the radio for the first time. Now the group headlines shows across the continent.

Valencia's latest release is the group's first since the band members went to work on independent projects seven years ago. The band has just finished their new release, and they are plotting their next move already.

Critics have often commended Valencia for their ability to energize the crowd at live performances. Charleston music critic Chad Judge has always been impressed with band’s great vocals. Valencia’s newest album is the band’s best reviewed album yet.

Valencia seamlessly blends the songs from the older release with tracks from their newest release. The group has never played a bad concert in Washington, D.C., so they make sure to schedule a stop there whenever they tour.
