Formed in January of 2020 in San Diego, and influenced by the turbulent times that followed, the band Crimson Coil has created a style and sound that harkens back to the golden era of rock bands who fearlessly spoke truth to power. 

 

Fronted by the incomparable vocal powerhouse, Barbara Valente, pays homage to iconic rock divas while blazing a trail of their own with original compositions reminiscent of the activist bands that defined the tumultuous eras of the 60s and 70s. With a voice that soars to celestial heights and delves into the depths of human emotion, Barbara captivates audiences with her mesmerizing vocals, blurring the lines between rock goddess and operatic diva. 

​

Backing Barbara’s formidable presence is a band of equally talented musicians, each bringing their own unique flair to Crimson Coil's dynamic sound. From the musical compositions and intricate blistering guitar riffs of Michael Williams, to the thunderous bass lines of James Knight, the symphonic stylings of keyboardist Greg Kluthe, and the tight drumming of Dan Leone, Crimson Coil's music is a symphony of rebellion and resilience, a testament to the enduring power of rock music to inspire change.

​

With their debut album set to release later this year, Crimson Coil invites you to join them on their journey of sonic exploration and awakening.
