Dave talks to musician, illustrator, puppeteer, and all-around renaissance woman Valerie Meiss!
“A fascination with fairytales and detective stories at
bedtime, a never-ending stockpile of cardboard, and a slew of old junk and toy
instruments have left their mark on Valerie Meiss' work.
She boldly claims to be a singing, songwriting musician
(though hardly a singer-songwriter) and performance artist. She makes a life
for herself playing shows, building and performing with puppets, and
illustrating children's stories or daily memoirs in her little house on a hill
in the wild woods of a tiny mountain town in Western North Carolina.
She toured regionally and nationally for 8 years and
learned the exciting trade of travelling rockstar in the band Hellblinki. Now she can be seen performing as Tiny
Wonder, and sometimes as Miss Mousie & The Rigamarole.”
Listen in as Dave talks to Valerie about her path from
illustrator to musician to puppeteer in this wide-ranging episode of the
