Jef Wright (Nonpareil)

SPB: What venue is your favorite to play (and why)?

Wright: Currently, I'd say that Valley Bar is my favorite venue to play in Phoenix. It could be because I have played so many venues here over the years and Valley Bar has only been open for about a year, but it also is a unique spot with great sound. Loading gear down an elevator to play in a nice cool basement makes me feel like I am on tour on the East Coast. It's also a perk that they serve some tasty food there as well!
