Sound Series: Valerie June with special guest Parker Gispert

Drawing an eclectic mix of comparisons to Billie Holiday, Dolly Parton, and the Carter Family, Valerie June’s intoxicating voice blurs the lines between folk, gospel, and blues. On her sophomore album The Order Of Time, “Man Done Wrong” sounds as though it crawled its way out of the Southern soul of the 1960s, while “With You” is softer, sweeter, featuring a child-like voice emanating from June. She sees music as a living, breathing entity, and this mentality transfers into heavy ebbs and flows pocketed throughout her catalogue. June performs at Carnegie Lecture Hall with special guest Parker Gisperton.
