Sound Series: Valerie June

Saturday, February 11, 2017, 8 p.m.

African American women smiles, eyes closed, with her head titled to the left, and her right hand is raised as if snapping her fingers.

The Warhol welcomes Valerie June on a tour supporting her latest release The Order of Time. Deftly blending elements of folk, soul, blues, and Appalachian traditional sensibilities into a strikingly unique and timeless sound, June stands in a long and storied line of unique performers in Memphis, the city where she began to hone her craft. Her unique voice and vocal delivery have drawn comparisons to icons as varied as Billie Holiday, Dolly Parton, and the Carter Family.

This performance is co-presented with Calliope: The Pittsburgh Folk Music Society, 91.3 WYEP, and Carnegie Museum of Art.
