In this episode, I interview my friend Shane Henderson, the singer of Valencia. 

Shane and I go way back. 

We discuss the history of the band Valencia, the re-release of their album "Dancing With A Ghost", and what Shane has planned for the future.

Valencia is an American alternative rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.

Valencia met by playing local shows together around the tri-state area in separate bands. George Ciukurescu and JD Perry grew up together; attending elementary school, high school, and their first year of college. 

They joined a band in 2001 called The Capgun Heroes with Brendan Walter and former members Sean Mundy and Ryan O'Hara. Shane Henderson sang in the band Attracted to Miss and Max played drums in The Emphasis. They formed the band that is known today as Valencia in 2004. The band is named after the wife of the protagonist, Valencia, in the book by Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five. 

In 2005 Valencia signed to I Surrender Records after the label's owner, Midtown's drummer Rob Hitt, heard their demo tape.
