Dino Valenti

The Profile

American singer‑songwriter Chester Powers, known professionally as Dino Valenti (also Jesse Oris Farrow), associated with Quicksilver Messenger Service and known for writing songs in the 1960s folk/psychedelic scene.

Credited writer of the song "Get Together"; early association with Quicksilver Messenger Service; solo album "Dino Valente" blends folk, psychedelia, country and jazz influences. Reviews and accounts note legal troubles and periods of obscurity.

The single DeBaser review frames Dino Valenti as an erratic genius whose self-titled solo album fuses classic folk with late‑60s Californian psychedelia and hints of country and jazz. The review highlights "New Wind Blowing" and "Children of the sun" as career‑justifying songs and laments Valenti's legal troubles and posthumous obscurity.
