media release: GRAMMY-nominated singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Valerie June announces the Owls, Omens, and Oracles Tour. Following the recent release of a holiday offering Gifts, Presents, and Treats, which saw June present covers of three Christmas classics, the tour is yet another gift for the holiday season. All shows are full band.
Known for her distinctive voice and singing style, “[Valerie June’s] every quiver bespeaks emotional honesty” (New Yorker). She combines psychedelic folk, indie rock, country soul, symphonic pop, and blues with her southern roots and northern cosmopolitan charm to create her own sonic universe. Heavily influenced by one-of-a-kind vocalists like Billie Holiday, Karen Dalton, Macy Gray, and Tom Waits, June’s singular voice finds its home amongst these oddly rare vocal entities.
Valerie June has collaborated and shared the stage with myriad artists including John Prine, Norah Jones, Tyler Childers, Dinosaur Jr., Booker T. Jones, M. Ward, Robert Plant, Meshell Ndegeocello, Avett Brothers, Dave Matthews, Mavis Staples, Fred again.., Elvis Costello, Willie Nelson, and Carla Thomas. Stay tuned for more news from Valerie June in 2025.
