During the week, she is the professional face of Fortune 500 leaders like Dell, 3M, and Microsoft, traveling the country as a corporate presenter and event emcee. But when the weekend arrives, Valerie finds her true home on stage.

As the lead singer and manager of "Anthem Road," she has shared the spotlight with icons like Berlin and Warrant, but her most cherished memories are the moments that move the spirit.

For her, being on stage is more than just entertainment; it is an act of service. Joining Law Rocks is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream: the opportunity to turn her "highest form of consciousness" into a tangible way to give back to the communities she loves.

Rocking for Cannenta Foundation

“No Recourse” is a Dallas-based, all-attorney band that hit the scene in 2022 when select partners and associates of the commercial litigation law firm—Lynn Pinker Hurst and Schwegmann— fortuitously discovered they possessed just the right combination of musical talent. Backed by the drum talents of Andres Correa, guitar skills of Braden Dotson, bass guitar expertise of Chris Patton, piano artistry of Chloe Teeter, and the vocal stylings of Gloria Cange and Shane Simms, “No Recourse” is here to rock! Full of energy on stage (and in the courtroom) this band will show any crowd a great time. So give us a listen, and regardless whether you're inspired, you'll have “No Recourse.”

Rocking for The Concilio

Do you love singing along to Gen X anthems? Pumping your fist to alt-rock riffs? Dancing to recent hits? Well then, Vinyl Siren is your new favorite band!

Dynamic frontman Adam Ramirez (Chris Cornell’s range plus Scott Weiland’s attitude) engages crowds with his powerful voice and clever banter. Debbie Rendon — a triple threat on keyboard, auxiliary percussion and vocals — has a gift for harmonies that captivate audiences and linger in their minds; yes, just like The Cranberries. 

Guitarist Charles McCallum deftly replicates the tones of tried-and-true rock ‘n’ roll legends (ZZ Top, Rolling Stones) and alternative icons (Radiohead, The White Stripes), making audiences say, “That sounds just like the record!”

Laying down the rhythms, Keith Rawlins is a classically trained percussionist whose precision and versatility on the kit (blues, progressive rock, metal!!!) provide a deep pocket for Robert Tracy’s propulsive bass playing (equal parts Jane’s Addiction and Muse).

The band that toed the line just to make sure it could jump as far over the line as possible.  The band that laughs at email reminders that their time entries for the previous week are due on Tuesdays at 7pm Central Time.  The band that made millions as the exclusive provider of music education services to Somali day care centers in Minnesota.  The only band that was required to make an HSR filing to appear at Law Rocks Houston 2026.  This is Material Breach.  

Their dangerous concoction of shared influences ranging from Thelonious Monk, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana, Morgan Wallen, Captain and Tennille and former Ohio State quarterback Johnny Utah produces a sound that is raw and intoxicating, but somehow elegant.  But mostly raw and intoxicating.  Expect a set list of rock and country bangers that you can shout along with the band.

Material Breach is Will Fullenweider (guitar, vocals), Robert Cunningham (drums), Marvin Thiele (keys and bass), Austin Sheehy (vocals, guitar) and Michael King (guitar, vocals).

Material Breach is proud to play on behalf of Belong Kitchen, a neighborhood grab and go kitchen that was created to provide dignified, meaningful, paid employment for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) in a nurturing environment.

Back in the day, the members of Shadow Docket (f/k/a Down by Law) used to play fast and live hard, but with age comes wisdom, and now they play hard and live fast, delivering eclectic song sets from the 1960s through the 2000s that create a sense of palace intrigue.  To quote one critic:  “Owing to their unpredictable timing, lack of transparency, and usual inscrutability, this band plays both literally and figuratively in the shadows.”  Though band member firm affiliations have changed, the players remain the same to protect the innocent.  No longer obsessed with convincing their kids that they really are cool—their kids are now adults and know better—Shadow Docket remains committed to answering the age-old question, “What’s so Funny ‘bout Peace, Love and Understanding?”  Shadow Docket rocks to benefit Counsel for Justice (www.counselforjustice.org).
