Press release:

Following the release of her debut album ‘colours’, alt-pop artist Valere is hitting the road for the first time for a four-date tour called ‘CHROMA’.

Saturday 5 June - Space Academy, Christchurch
Friday 25 June - MoveSpace, Auckland
Saturday 26 June - Two Todman, Wellington
Saturday 3 July - Zeal, Hamilton

‘CHROMA’ comes off of a string of shows in 2020 to support ‘colours’, including a sold-out show in Auckland. Joined by local wahine acts, the tour will deliver an intimate and eclectic mix of soul and synth to move audiences.

Ethereal, serene and heartfelt, Valere is Kirikiriroa based songwriter and producer Shana Graham whose palate of warm new wave sounds, R&B melodies and intricate rhythms mesh into arrangements that are ‘kinetic, yet warmly intimate’ (NZ Musician Magazine). An APRA Songhubs alum and International Songwriting Competition semi-finalist, Valere’s debut album ‘colours’ garnered spots on ZM, BaseFM and various Spotify playlists including The Local List NZ.
