Mr. Vale's Math Class

Mr Vale's Math Class descends upon Uptown Pub for a free night of revelry and math themed glee! You may or may not learn anything with Mr. Vale's Math Class but you're guaranteed to have a good time. This six piece funk band has horns that knock down the door and percussion-laden grooves that are the perfect accompaniment to any dance party. While you're at it, come grab some pots and pans & join in. The Math Class has been busy spreading its unique mix of math and funk across the Pacific Northwest, with recent performances at festivals like Juniper Jam, Tectonic Shift, NW Folklife, and Shady Rest. They've also shared the stage with acts such as Jamie Cullum, Pimps of Joytime, and High Step Society. While you might not leave with a deeper understanding of math, you're guaranteed to have a great time. Mr. Vale's Math Class seeks to evoke curiosity and create moments of play. Through our songwriting they explore anxiety and complex emotions, hoping to normalize the absurdity of being human and invite listeners to move their bodies, laugh, shout, and take life a little less seriously. Their songs may bring a listener back to their formative school days and the emotions they experienced as they learned about math and maybe felt overwhelmed by the demand for right answers. Revisiting these familiar concepts, they introduce play in hopes to spark fresh curiosity and self-compassion.
