At the root of every great song is power- a vital element in the composition that naturally seizes the emotions of the listener and takes them on a journey.  Minutes later, the sounds may have stopped, but the melody continues floating through minds, rests among memories and creates a feeling. Whether that feeling be freedom, remorse, hope or ecstasy, it takes a great storyteller to be able to make that happen.  Someone who lives life with a no-holds barred attitude, has experienced the bad with the good and owns the gift to relate the journeys he has been on with anyone and everyone who will listen.  In other words, Jay Della Valle.

NEW MUSIC POSTED
I finished recording 3 new songs this summer. Instead of waiting to record more and releasing a fat pile of music on the already overwhelmed music listening masses- I'm keeping it simple. I'll release each song individually on Myspace and to the DV Mailing List. I plan to start doing this while everyone is sleeping some night in the near future- that way it's a little more mysterious.

DELLA VALLE ROCKS LEGENDARY STONE PONY
Last night we took down the legendary "Pony." 105.7 The Hawk, a South Jersey Classic Rock Station, broadcasted live and someone said they played the whole set on the radio. In other words, widespread mustache amplification. I was once told that the sound of my voice alone made people want to start growing a mustache. A tried and true Jersey boy, I've always wanted to play at "The Stone Pony." So I guess I can check that one off my list of things to do in life.
