Valerie June announces headline show at Whelan's

Grammy-nominated artist Valerie June has announced a headline show at Whelan's for 14th October 2024.

Tennessee-born Valerie June Hockett has carved out a niche for herself in the music scene with her scintillating blend of astral folk and meditative R&B. She's been hailed by the New York Times as one of America's “most intriguing, fully formed new talents.”

The multi-hyphenate June - musician, singer, songwriter, poet, illustrator, actor, certified yoga and mindfulness meditation instructor and author - has 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.

With three critically-acclaimed, best-selling solo albums to her name, Valerie June has also written songs for legendary artists such as Mavis Staples and The Blind Boys of Alabama.

An Amazon #1 bestseller in poetry, her first book Maps for the Modern World is a collection of lyrical poems and original illustrations about cultivating community, awareness and harmony with our surroundings as we move fearlessly toward on dreams. She is also the author of the children's book Somebody to Love: The Story of Valerie June’s Sweet Little Baby Banjolele, published by Jack White's Third Man Books.

Tickets for Valerie June's headliner at Whelan's go on sale tomorrow, 30th August, starting from €28.00, including booking fees. They will be available to purchase via Singular Artists.
