A rare, jewel-box, evening concert with the irresistible and multidimensional singer-songwriter Valerie June celebrates her new album, Owls, Omens, and Oracles. Described as “a necessary reminder… that happiness is just as potent a tool for beating back the darkness as anger” (Paste Magazine).
Known for her distinctive voice and singing style, “[Valerie June’s] every quiver bespeaks emotional honesty” (New Yorker). As a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and three-time Americana Music Honors and Awards nominee, June weaves fresh medicinal downloads of love, sweetness, goodness, and joy with 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. She has been praised by Bob Dylan and shared the stage with myriad artists including John Prine, Norah Jones, Tyler Childers, Dinosaur Jr., Booker T. Jones, Emmylou Harris, M. Ward, Robert Plant, Meshell Ndegeocello, Dave Matthews, Angelique Kidjo, Willie Nelson, Brandi Carlile, and Elvis Costello. When not touring, she splits her time between Tennessee and New York.
Valerie June’s performance is made possible, in part, through funding from the County of Dutchess and Destination Dutchess (formerly Dutchess Tourism, Inc.) and administered by Arts Mid-Hudson.
