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.

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.

The Funk Docket: Where rhythm meets soul; and we are about to be in session!

The Return of the Reigning Champions:
Coming back for their third year to defend their hard-earned title, The Funk Docket is ready to prove once again why they're the undisputed masters of groove. This powerhouse ensemble has earned their reputation through sheer musical excellence and an unmatched ability to move crowds.

The Sound:
Built around an absolutely dynamic rhythm section, The Funk Docket delivers the kind of tight, pocket-deep funk that makes resistance futile. Their sound is a masterful blend of classic funk foundations with contemporary R&B sensibilities, creating something both timeless and fresh. Every beat hits with precision, every bass line locks you in, and every groove builds to something bigger than the sum of its parts.

The Voice:
At the heart of their sound stands Courtney Jones, whose soul-stirring vocals serve as the perfect complement to the band's instrumental prowess. Jones doesn't just sing – she channels emotion, tells stories, and commands attention with a voice that can whisper sweet melodies one moment and belt powerhouse notes the next. Her stage presence and vocal delivery are guaranteed to leave audiences hanging on every note.

The Experience:
From the first note to the final chord, The Funk Docket creates an experience that's impossible to ignore. This isn't background music – this is music that demands your full attention and rewards it with pure musical satisfaction. Their sets are carefully crafted journeys that build energy, create moments, and leave crowds wanting more.

The Promise:
Get ready to move. Get ready to feel. Get ready for a musical set that will surely stand out from the rest. The Funk Docket doesn't just perform – they take over, lock you in, and don't let go until they're good and ready.

Fair warning: You will sway. You will groove. You will remember this performance long after the last note fades.

The Funk Docket: Where rhythm meets soul; and we are about to be in session.

Rocking for Cancer Lifeline

We are three attorneys and a scientist who have been good friends for years. We're all music junkies and have always talked about forming a rock band. Once our kids were grown, we decided to go for it and started rehearsing in a rented studio. Soon after, we started playing at various functions, events, bars and other establishments wanting live music. We absolutely loved it and have been performing pretty steady ever since. Our genre tends to be classic rock, but we also have several originals and take on newer material when the mood hits us. We like to rock the house and be loud. Thank you Law Rocks!

Rocking for Rebuilding Hope

“The Orphan 40” is the solo, acoustic project of PCVA Partner Ian Bauer, who spends his days representing survivors of child sexual abuse and can be otherwise found on a stage somewhere in the greater Puget Sound region with a guitar in hand, as a regular gigging musician. Prior to and during law school, Ian played in and around Seattle solo and in bands, before professional and family obligations meant stepping back from playing live. The Orphan 40 began when, during a sleepless night in the middle of a contentious trial and on the heels of his mom’s Stage IV cancer diagnosis, Ian did something he hadn’t done for years – hit the record button on his do-it-yourself home recording setup. The result? Dozens of originals and eclectic covers stripped down to their bare essentials – solo guitar and vocals recorded live, to capture and convey the raw emotion of the moment, where the imperfections and straightforward arrangements reflect an earnest authenticity all too often lacking in the modern music industry. One thing led to another, and within a matter of weeks Ian began booking shows as The Orphan 40 many months in advance, with thousands of monthly listeners checking in from Seattle to Stockholm, and everywhere in between.

Rocking for Troy & Baden Biddle Foundation

Side Bar is back at Law Rocks with a brand-new lineup and a shared love of live music.

This year’s band brings together musicians from WA and CA for one night of ‘80s-inspired rock, new wave, and crowd favorites. Fronted by Bainbridge Island’s Amanda Horn on vocals, Side Bar features Jason Cirlin on guitar, Justin Farar on bass, Tom Mauriello on keyboards and Tom Zeliff on drums. Although this will be the first time this lineup takes the Law Rocks stage together, the group brings years of performing experience, a genuine love of playing live, and just enough confidence to think this is a good idea.
