Julia Lane Cooper was the 2025 Valley Star Awards Female Vocalist of the Year and will be joining the other five artists on our stage this year. Even though she’ll be singing for us, she currently hosts immersive, interactive Murder Mystery Parties where the guests are the stars.
Another performer for the Valley Star Awards is Jamie Layton. Jamie Layton has a distinctive low voice – you can’t miss it. His love for gospel music began in the 90’s and he has been singing ever since.
With options for outdoor or indoor seating, welcoming and knowledgeable staff, and a menu that is sure to satisfy you – Sante Fe Steakhouse makes any visit a memorable experience.

Even when the restaurant is filled with patrons, you’ll still feel well accommodated to.
