Valerie June Tickets

A true original. Doesn't sound like anyone else. Her songs are mystical in a way, to me anyway.

With a gospel trained voice that generates goosebumps every time, the skills of a bluegrass banjo player, and a deep appreciation for the style and work ethic that came out of Memphis when people like Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes were defining Rock and Roll - Valerie June is giving us fresh music that is current, exciting and still in touch with her roots. Valerie made me cry, she made me feel spiritual and she made me dance. What more can a great artist give to her audience?

Valerie June was magnificent at the Town Hall. Her band was expanded with a full horn section and an additional keyboard player, which was a bigger band than on the previous show I saw on the tour. Both shows were great though -- and I couldn't pick a better one. It always scratches an itch when she plays 'Raindance', such an cleansing song. I was pretty stressed coming to the concert and I left feeling happy, relaxed, and uplifted. The horns on Workin' Woman Blues got very hot, like classic afrobeat...the guitars did an amazing job with the parts in the smaller show, where it sounded almost like Fugazi's more intricate work. Valerie hops genres (folk, country, blues, soul, indie rock, oldie rock), goes deep, and gets her message of love and possibility across in a magical, alchemical way. She is a blessing upon this world.

Valerie June is beautiful inside and out. She is warm and kind. Whether blues, country, whatever genre you wish to apply, she has a soulful spirit that communicates with a mesmerizing voice.

Valerie June has a great voice and melds a variety of styles into a unique yet very natural sound. During the show she sang accompanying herself on banjo and played guitars (electric and acoustic) with her band who did a fine job moving from folky, rock, jazz and electric blues. It made for a very entertaining show. Valerie's vocals easily transitioned from delicate to powerful even within the same song - always very expressive. If you have listened to her records, or even a few of her songs, and think you might be interested in seeing her perform - GO you won't be disappointed!

In most songs, the backup band was so loud you could not hear VJ's wonderful voice. It is that voice that brought me to the concert! Loved her outfit, her antics & gymnastics, and her dancing. But mostly her voice when the band was quieter and we could clearly hear her. Very nice venue.

Beautiful, transporting, full of life concert with fantastic musicianship and soul. Go see her!

Valerie June gave a terrific, energetic, wonderfully warm show at the Carolina Theatre. Four days later, I can't get any of it out of my head.

You have to see her live show, just incredible!!!!

2 things hat didn't set well with me: 1 - it was too short of a set by far. I even saw her with coat and bag leaving within 5 minutes of getting off the stage. Seemed like she didn't want to be there. 2 - a lady claiming to be her aunt kept doing laps in the crowd asking for cash because her ex husband wasn't a good man and she needed help getting home. Idk if true but was hanging with Valerie's crowd.

The beautiful synagogue at 6th and I in Washington, D.C., is a house of worship, and indeed it was last week when Valerie June performed there. She wails. She howls. She hums. She growls. She had the audience eating out of her hands. Valerie June has a high, lonesome, almost strange voice that commands your attention. This is no background singer at a loud pub; in such a place I couldn't imagine my gaze turned anywhere but on her. I waited for that moment when I leave my body ever so briefly during a live performance, and yes, that moment came. Valerie June whacks her guitar strings like a preacher's podium. She tickles her little banjo -- the one she calls "the baby" -- like a kitten. In her songs you can hear the mountains and valleys of her Tennessee upbringing and the structure and discipline that the music scene there helps give a songwriter -- bumping against the uncivilized civilization of her now-home in Brooklyn. Ms. June drew a loving audience to 6th and I, and I became one of them. We all rose to our feet to beg an encore.

This show was great. Valerie sounded fantastic and had a great rapport with her fans. She told great folksy stories about her family and the origins of her songs and life in Memphis. She moved seamlessly from instrument to instrument and her voice is so unique you can't wait to hear what she does with it next. Her style of strumming was mesmerizing and it was clear she had an emotional connection to her music. My one wish is that her set was longer. It was about 90 minutes, but I was enjoying it so much, I wanted more. Otherwise, a great show; would definitely see her again.

Such a beautiful setting for a living doll. Valerie June is a warm and creative storyteller, making the audience feel welcome in her "living room." Her voice is mesmerizing and left me wanting more of it. All night.

Took my 11 yr old with me to see Valerie in Atlanta. We both loved her performance. She is a traditional singer songwriter capable of filling a hall with her sweet personality and from-the-heart music. She is so real, not pretending to be too cool for the rest of us. Watch her interviews and live performances on the net!

I was just a tag along to this event and really wasn't looking forward to it based on youtube videos but I loved it! She's so cute and amazingly talented with a great sense of humor which adds to the performance. She was available after the performance for greeting and she has such a beautiful spirit. I'm looking forward to seening her again and again.

I always love events at this venue. Valerie June was amazing in her performance. Unfortunately, her opening act wasn't very good at all though. Fortunately, June's performance made up for the unsteady start.

She was AMAZING. She was sweet, and fun, and man can she sing the blues.

Unbelievable talent! Can't wait for her next tour.
