Valerie June Tickets

My wife and I loved the show. I was not aware it was going to be an acoustic set. Just Valerie June and the audience. It felt like she was just singing to my wife and I, with a blend of new work and her more established works. She covered most of the songs I was hoping to hear, although she didn't play Pushing Against a Stone or Shotgun, and I thought Shotgun would have fit well with the set. And as a side note, I haven't been to Saint Andrew's Hall in over 25 years. Wow, it has changed a lot over the years, and is just a great venue now. It has the feel of a performance in your living room with great acoustics. My only complaint was lighting, and I imagine it was deliberate, but there wasn't a bright spotlight on Ms. June, so it was hard to get good pictures or video. So we weren't overwhelmed with distracting strobe lights and stuff, but we didn't have great lighting for pictures. She made up for it by meeting with fans after the show for personal photos, so this is totally a five star event in our book! My wife and I can't wait for you to come back to Detroit and we are also going to get tickets for the Howard Jones show coming up in June at Saint Andrew's Hall since we loved the venue so much!

The venue is phenomenal.....and Valerie June is amazing. I highly recommend seeing her live. I have two of her CD's and have seen her before but in this venue she was even more mystical.

Great concert, great venue. Would see her again and would love to see another show at sixth & I.

Valerie June is wonderful, creative, unique. She fills the performance space with not only great music but also great feelings. Unfortunately, her performance at Sixth & I was afflicted with ‘sound’ issues - there was constant feedback after the third or 4th song. When she spoke she sounded muffled. Sixth and I is not that large a space. I could see the sound guy on the right of the stage and he looked relaxed as though he were not only enjoying the show but oblivious to the awful sounds washing over the audience. As much as I love Valerie June’s music (and I really love it!) - because of tech issues Saturday’s performance was pretty difficult to fully enjoy.

Amazing performance. One of the most unique voices I've ever heard. To hear a black woman singing Appalachian inspired music is memorizing. Love her! She should have been on stage at the Grammys Sunday night! Hopefully one day.

Breathtaking performance. Her voice effortlessly soulfully spans the depths of gospel, country and blues. I'm grateful that my daughter and I witnessed this truly gift musician.

Valerie June is truly unique. I love the way she combines gospel, country, and old time sounds to create original music. I love the stories she tells, and her voice. It was my first visit to the Fletcher Opera Theater. It's a lovely, intimate theater with great sound.

Thoroughly enjoyed Valerie June! She’s such a special person and an amazing artist! Love her so much. It was a wonderful date night for us! Thad was awesome as well!

I loved the intimate setting that the Fletcher Opera Theater provided. It was perfect for this artist. I thoroughly enjoyed Valerie June. She was phenomenal. I have enjoyed her music for a few years. I loved the way she weaved personal storytelling between her songs. So glad I was able to see and hear her live!

If you have a chance to see Valerie June, I highly recommend it. She is so entertaining to watch and really connects with the audience. Check her out!

Valerie June was great and hope she comes back next year. Also enjoyed the opening act, "The War and Treaty". The sound and seating were both very good. I'll note that the volume was too high for the entire evening.

The venue was amazing, the sound and seats were the best. Valerie June is super talented.

They are the reason that we came to the show. We just saw them at the Ark Music Festival and the stole the show. They were just as great at the Capital.

Valery June is one of those preformers that can truly captivate an audience with her songs and stage Presence. She sings songs from the soul with a backup band that can really captivate a crowd with subtle beauty then bring the crowd to a boil and back again

The Singer has an amazing sound to her voice and projection, also such a wonderful guitar plucker to accompany the voice and songs she sang. I would definitely return to see her amazing ACT.

A unique performer with a real good band enjoyed the show a lot

True star quality with an utterly unique sound. Whole band had a virtuoso sound blending genres with style and respect. Charming stories and rapport interspersed with the best most sincerely felt songs I've heard in years. If you get the chance, go.

Very distinctive voice with a great high range, but it quickly becomes piercing and shrill if the volume isn't adjusted to accommodate with accompanying instruments. Playing was kitschy, but sloppy overall. Maybe she's trying to go in a different direction given the new album, but it was a far cry from the first. Even those songs came off shrill, too up-tempo and bland sounding. Disappointing evening.

So glad I finally got to see this one of a kind performer. Shear raw talent. Can't explain her originality. Has to be seen. All from her heart.

This was the sixth time my wife and I have seen Valerie June. It looked like most seats were taken at the Town Hall, so it was great to see that she could fill a large venue at a ticketed event. She performed solidly for an hour and a half. Both she and her band were wonderful. Her music is so authentic and refreshing, with different voicings and reflecting numerous influences. We loved that her trademark banter hasn't changed. Her set list included songs from both her recently released CD and her first CD. We enjoyed her opening act Anthony D'Amato. One overall negative was that the sound level was too high, making her voice and the instruments sound distorted at times. Another negative was that, despite no announcements about not using cameras, the staff seemed vigilant about preventing their use.
