American Darling Valve

"Miami might not be the first place you think of when discussing singer-songwriters, but American Darling Valve is about to put it on the map."

-Adobe and Teardrops

Way back in 2016 a violinist studying classical music fell in love with songwriting. But when faced with her limitations executing her newfound dream she recruited a few friends from the classical and jazz programs at her music school. When the demands of performance degrees, freelancing and the metro-city grind pulled the five piece ensemble apart, two musicians remained standing...


As American Darling Valve, violinist Ariele Macadangdang and guitarist Bryan Dubrow play songs together guided by their backgrounds with chamber music, jazz, rock, and folk music. Their overly serious songs are a result of not taking themselves too seriously, and playing sad songs makes them happy. To date they have played songs for people in Kalamazoo, Mi; Washington, D.C.; Duluth, GA: and in venues all over Florida. They self-released an eponymous EP in 2017, and released a series of six singles during 2018.


Formed in 2016 in the wreckage of an attempted 5 piece band, American Darling Valve is the musical pairing of Ariele Macadangdang and Bryan Dubrow. Their approach to playing songs together is guided by their backgrounds with chamber music, jazz, rock, and folk music.
