Valerie June | Southern Sounds Southern Storytellers
An authentic voice with bohemian flair, Valerie June emerges from Western Tennessee, daring to mix Appalachian folk music with ethereal storytelling. Come along to Tennessee’s Tina Turner Museum where an exhibit was recently installed in Valerie’s honor, and hear an impromptu performance on her family farm, as she talks history, inspiration, and the importance of glitter and big hair.
