Sarah De Vallière @ Nietzsche’s Buffalo 3.26.2025

Sarah De Vallière is a lot of things – an award-winning composer of film and game music, a classically trained pianist, and a performing singer-songwriter. As a graduate of Boston’s Berklee College of Music, it’s no surprise that her talent has taken her further than most independent artists – allowing her to pave a non-traditional path and lifestyle of full-time artistry.

Sarah will be in the front room at Nietzsche’s on Wednesday, March 26th from 9pm-Late! No Cover!
