We are delighted to welcome Valerie June back to the Western Door Stage! Join us for a night of unforgettable music.

“… While June plays many instruments, she clarifies that the voice is an instrument and will have its own way of serving the song. Her voice grips us with visceral twists and a fierceness of raw emotion that threads textures and tones through the needle of a multi-genre American quilt, striking against notions that voices should always sound polished and pretty. Gracefulness and gentleness harmonize with dissonance, edginess, and precarity in the sharpest parts of her voice, evoking a tenderness within even the hardest heart on “Trust the Path.” A hand-clappin’, toe-tapper, “Love Me Any Ole Way,” leads us from Memphis to New Orleans with the horn arrangements by Nate Walcott (Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst, and the Mystic Valley Band). A published author, June, performs spoken word with her sultry southern accent, reading a poem from her book Maps for the Modern World (Andrews McMeel, Simon and Schuster). Earning the admiration of Bob Dylan, June walks in his footsteps from American rock music to folky songs like “Sweet Things Just for You” featuring backing vocals from Norah Jones to “Missin’ You,” which includes Ward’s silky Mississippi John Hurt and John Fahey style fingerpicking guitar…”-Adrienne Maree Brown
