Biography
Known for her distinctive voice and singing style, “[Valerie June’s] every quiver bespeaks emotional honesty” (New Yorker). A Grammy‑nominated singer‑songwriter and three‑time Americana Music Honors & Awards nominee, June weaves fresh medicinal downloads of love, sweetness, goodness, and joy into songs that have flowed through her for years. She has recorded three best‑selling solo albums and written songs for legendary artists such as Mavis Staples and The Blind Boys of Alabama.
Bob Dylan has praised her work, and she has shared the stage with artists including John Prine, Norah Jones, Tyler Childers, Dinosaur Jr., Booker T. Jones, Emmylou Harris, M. Ward, Robert Plant, Meshell Ndegeocello, the Avett Brothers, Dave Matthews, Angelique Kidjo, Willie Nelson, Brandi Carlile, and Elvis Costello. Her albums have been featured in Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, NPR Music, Vogue, Elle, Mojo, and Uncut, among many others. She has also appeared on The Tonight Show, CBS Saturday Morning, PBS, Austin City Limits, and the BBC. When she’s not touring, she splits her time between Tennessee and New York.
“Valerie June has built a devoted following by ignoring expectations. She is simultaneously rural and cosmopolitan, historically minded and contemporary, idiosyncratic and fashionable, mystical and down-to-earth.”
