Band History

In 2016 - a few years after meeting in a funk music ensemble at Arizona State University - Andrew Centanni and Corey Goldman decided to form an alternative rock band called Valley Orange. For two and a half years afterwards, they jammed & collaborated with numerous musicians, but were never able to form a stable unit. The turning point came in 2019, when Maya auditioned for the band. Her personality and vocal style added the missing element that the band needed to gain momentum, and despite a Spinal Tap-esque rotating lineup of bassists, the trio of Andrew, Corey, & Maya formed a close musical partnership centered around one shared value: the importance of good songwriting. In 2020, they released their first album, Vine, which showcased the different songwriting styles of each member in it's ten, diverse tracks. After Vine's release, they continued to mature in both their individual and collaborative songwriting skills, and in 2024, they released their second album, Risk Reward, which features eight songs written entirely through group collaboration.

 

In August 2024, Corey retired from the band to focus on the other important things in his life. After a warm-hearted goodbye, Andrew and Maya decided to continue as a duo, shifting their focus to writing & recording a new album which showcased their unique strengths as a drummer and vocalist, respectively. The resulting album, Weathering features some of their most mature, adventurous work yet. But don't take our word for it - click the "Albums" tab above and take a listen for yourself!
