Though joining Gossamer as keyboardist/back-up vocalist in 1998, Valmont has continued to write and perform, adding to the audience and appreciation he's garnered over the years through steady regional shows and apprearances on 2 nationally dstributed CD compilations (i.D. Records' _Of Passion and Remembrance_, and Delinquent Records' _More Black Than Black_). In the future, Valmont will not only be featured on an upcoming Bill Nelson tribute CD, but expects to complete recording on a new full release effort and then to resume touring.
