The new project from rock-metal guitarist and composer Valéry Granson (aka Val). Influences Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Andy Timmons, Joey Tafolla

'Instrumental rock is alive is the motto of the VAL EXPERIENCE BAND, the new project from rock-metal guitarist and composer Valéry Granson (aka Val). His major influences lie somewhere between Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Andy Timmons, Joey Tafolla , Ritchie Kotzen, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Paul Gilbert, Eric Johnson, Santana, Queen, Frank Zappa and many others.

Active in the music scene since the 90s, Valéry has recorded several albums, notably with 15REASONS (3 albums on CNR & Graviton) and Mingawash (2 albums), and played over 250 concerts in Europe, including the famous Szyget festival in Hungary. Today, with the creation of the VAL EXPERIENCE BAND, Valéry is fulfilling one of his teenage dreams. As a fan of instrumental rock, which reached its peak in the 80s and 90s and still fascinates him, he decided to record his first solo album, OSMIUM. Instrumental rock is alive...

The OSMIUM album contains 13 tracks that will take listeners on a journey through rock, blues, hard rock and acoustic ballads, all spiced up with the distinctive Val Experience Band style. The album contains 69 minutes of varied music, and is a must-have if you like rock in the broadest sense of the word.

The VAL EXPERIENCE BAND is a project worth discovering, whether on album or in concert, for an experience that will not leave you indifferent. 2024 will be a promising year for the VAL EXPERIENCE BAND. Stay tuned for the album release, videos and shows ... Don't miss it!
