Episode 178 - Jennifer D'Angora and Ed Valauskas

Above The Basement - Boston Music and Conversation

What is a Jamoke? Is a chump a jamoke? We really have no idea. But we love the question and will begin using the word Jamoke on a regular basis.

These are the deep questions we dove into when talking with Jennifer D’Angora and Ed Valauskas.

Plymouth native Jennifer D’Angora, also known as Jenny Dee, has been on the Boston music scene long enough to be in more bands than we can count. The Dents, Jenny Dee and the Deelinquents, The Downbeat 5, and the fantastic group of musicians that make up the equally fantastic Band of Their Own which performs mainly to support Hot Stove Cool Music, the annual benefit show supporting the Foundation to be Named Later.

Ed Valauskas is the studio manager of the infamous Q Division studios. Ed’s also an accomplished producer and bassist. He plays bass in The Gravel Pit, The Gentlemen, Jenny Dee & The Deelinquents, Abbie Barrett & The Last Date, The Prenups, and far too many other bands to count. Chances are if you are a regular on the live music scene in Boston, one of these two musicians and great people were on the stage.

These are also only our second married couple to have on ATB. We’ll let you listen to find out the first.
