Cold Snap TV

Since 2007, Cold Snap has lit up stages with their electrifying blend of blues, funk, soul, and R&B. Led by husband-and-wife duo Joe & Sonia Valenti, this powerhouse 6-piece delivers high-energy shows full of groove and passion. Runners-up in the 2025 MBAS Blues Challenge, they narrowly missed representing Melbourne in Memphis at the International Blues Challenge. Gritty guitars, soulful vocals, and tight rhythms give Cold Snap a fresh edge on blues tradition. Their chemistry is undeniable, and with Rob D’Alessandro (keys), Kosta Vaporakis (guitar), Steve Brooks (bass), and Bud Noordhoorn (drums), their performances are polished, emotive, and unforgettable. They've wowed crowds at major events including Wangaratta, St Kilda, Eltham, Echuca, Bendigo, and Alice Springs Blues Festivals, as well as the MotoGP at Phillip Island and The Blues Train. What truly sets them apart is the love and synergy Joe and Sonia bring to every show - creating a powerful, uplifting live experience.
