BOBBY JO VALENTINE
Our theme for Ash Wednesday this year is “From the Ashes.” No one can speak or sing to this theme with more grace and empathy than Bobby Jo Valentine. Bobby Jo is a California-based singer-songwriter. He is also a recent victim of the California wildfires. Having lost his own home in the fire, Bobby Jo has been playing benefit concerts across the nation to help other victims of the fire. This is a true reflection of his heart. His music is a true reflection of life.

He followed this chapter of life with a successful Nashville career, writing hits like: “A Little too Late to Do the Right Thing Now” (Tanya Tucker) and Travis Tritt’s “Help Me Hold On.” His newest CD, How Hard It Is to Fly, is a reflection of the thoughtful faith he lives today.
