Host - Valerie Ojeda

At her core, Valerie Ojeda is a storyteller with a Chicago soul. Known for her boundless energy and a voice that can command any room, Valerie has built a career around the magic of human connection. 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. From singing the National Anthem for a stadium of fans to her life-changing experience performing for U.S. Troops in Kuwait this past summer, Valerie’s heart is always with her audience. 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.

Amperband

Featuring legal talent from McCarter & English
Rocking for Cradles to Crayons

Meet Amperband, the legal legends from McCarter & English who advocate in the office & harmonize on stage! What’s with the name? It's our tribute to the mighty '&' symbol, the unsung hero that connects words & phrases, like we connect legal arguments & our fans to chart topping hits from yesteryear.
Formed in 2023, our debut performance was at our Partner Retreat on the big stage at Johnny Cash Bar & BBQ in Nashville. We now rock in the name of charity, because nothing says "fighting for justice" like righteous dance moves & a rockin' good time.

Amperband boasts as much expertise in riffs & rhythms as we do in regulations & rulings. Our ensemble includes seven members from five offices & a whole lot of legal wit & musical talent.
