Americana chanteuse Valerie June will release her follow-up to 2013’s breakout LP, ‘Pushin’ Against a Stone’ on January 27th, 2017 (Concord Records). The Tennessee-bred, Brooklyn-based songwriter ‘weaves electric blues, African rhythms, cosmic atmospherics and delicate soul into an inventive and wholly original rumination on love, family, struggle and the passing of time.’
June will also embark on a North American headline tour in support of ‘The Order Of Time.’ The announcement comes as June wraps up a series of performances this fall with Norah Jones and Sturgill Simpson. Tour dates below with more to be announced in the following weeks.
Produced by Matt Marinelli, ‘The Order of Time’ includes twelve original songs all written by June and features appearances from June’s family, her father, Emerson Hockett and brothers, Patrick and Jason Hockett .
