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.
For Jon Muq, a singer-songwriter born in Uganda and now living in Austin, Texas, music is part of a larger conversation he’s having with the world and everybody in it. Drawing from African as well as western musical trends and traditions, he devises songs as small gifts, designed to settle into everyday life and provoke reflection and resilience.
