“This stunning song cycle of redemption and reclamation adds an orchestral-pop sheen to June’s gorgeous blend of astral folk and meditative R&B.” – Rolling Stone
Born and raised in the flatlands of West Tennessee, Valerie June is an artist steeped in the deep, musical culture which surrounded her, but June is also a woman who wears many hats: musician, singer, songwriter, poet, illustrator, actor, author, and a certified yoga and mindfulness meditation instructor. Having recorded three critically acclaimed, best-selling solo albums, June skillfully weaves a tapestry of folk, soul, gospel, country, blues, psychedelia, and symphonic pop.
June’s latest full-length album, The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions for Dreamers, reflects her spellbinding vocals and infectious sense of wonder. June gently eases the listener into a charmed state of mind, one that quickly restores a powerful feeling of joyful possibility. June collaborated on this celestial album with Grammy-winning producer Jack Splash, who has worked with prominent figures such as Kenrick Lamar, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Mary J. Blige, and so many more.
June received a Grammy nomination for Best American Roots Song for “Call Me a Fool,” her moving duet featuring the iconic Carla Thomas, and has written songs for other industry legends such as Mavis Staples and the Blind Boys of Alabama. She honorably served as a Turnaround artist working with students for the President’s Committee for the Arts and Humanities and continues serving through the Kennedy Center.
