"Songs are lucky when Stevie Vallance sings them." ~ Ross Porter, President and CEO of JazzFM, Toronto

"Intimate, vulnerable yet full of passion; able to caress a word, shape a phrase so that it comes alive. This is an evening with the voice of Stevie Vallance." ~ Medicine Hat Jazz Festival

"Stevie Vallance, here's a vocalist with something to say and a sensational way of saying it!" ~ Jurgen Gothe, Host of CBC Radio’s Disc Drive

She has produced 4 CDs – three jazz and one country -- on her independent label, H'art Records. 

Stevie's debut Jazz CD, 'Practically Naked', was recorded in 1998 with the help of Michael Creber (k.d. Lang). One critic described it as "an unforgettable piece of music history, sung with a warmth and grace that sends shivers down the spine."

Her 2nd CD, 'Always (A Salute to Patsy Cline)', followed several years of touring Western Canada in a two-person musical “Just a Closer Walk with Patsy Cline, in which she portrayed the legendary country singer. As Patsy, she also kicked off the opening ceremonies of the 1999 Calgary Stampede.

Motivated by the loss of a close personal friend, Vallance produced two critically acclaimed concerts, ‘Divas for Life’ and ‘Divas for Love’. In 2001 & 2002, the Jazz benefit concerts sold out Vancouver’s Vogue Theatre and raised $70,000 for people living with a life-threatening illness. As a result, Stevie was awarded the city’s 'Friends for Life Philanthropy Award'. With media sponsors such as Bravo on board, she negotiated a national distribution deal with Fusion Records for Stevie's 3rd CD, 'Divas For Life: Live At The Vogue'. It was featured on CBC Radio’s Hot Air and was released as part of the 2002 Vancouver International Jazz Festival line-up.

Vallance's 4th CD, 'Make My Night', was released in 2008. It features original interpretations of jazz standards, as well as original songs by Stevie. Paul Grant said "Vallance's voice sounds fabulous ... mature, well-recorded, comfortable, sexy.”

Stevie hosted her own Sunday night radio program, ‘Jazz and Blues on the Beach'. In 2008 - 2009, she was lead vocalist for The Stardust Big Band and also performed at regional jazz festivals in Ontario and Alberta. In 2009-2010 she produced and performed the ‘Masters of Jazz’ concert series of seven, live-recorded performances with world-class musicians such as Dave Young (Oscar Peterson's bassist).

In June, 2013, Stevie and long-time friend David Warrack, released Stevie's 5th CD, produced and arranged by David Warrack, at Hugh’s Room, in Toronto, ‘Three Davids’. The cabaret-jazz-style revue features music composed by David Warrack, David Frishberg and David Shire.
