When British singer and musician Amy Winehouse hit the airwaves in the mid-aughts, she quickly became a revelation. Her infusion of classic oldies with modern verve earned her more Grammy Awards than any other British female act. Furthermore, her album Back to Black became one of the bestselling albums of the 21st century. Winehouse’s tragic and untimely death left a serious hole in the world of modern music. Luckily, a Santa Cruz and Bay Area-based group took up her mantle in a stunning way. Valerie: A Tribute to Amy Winehouse features top local musicians, including lead singer Elsa Cedeño, exploring Winehouse’s mercurial discography, uncannily channeling the singer’s raw power of expression while infusing her music with a newfound respect.
