Warhol Sound Series Hosts Valerie June at Carnegie Music Hall (Wed., 2/11/26)

Tennessee-born Valerie June got a good musical break in 2009 when she appeared as a featured artist in MTV’s online series “$5 Cover,” which followed the lives of Memphis musicians and their struggle to survive while chasing their musical dreams. The next year she recorded the EP Valerie June and the Tennessee Express, a collaboration with Old Crow Medicine Show. Since then she has become known as a distinctive Americana artist, with numerous TV and film appearances. Her sound is influenced by folk, blues, Appalachian, gospel, soul, country, and bluegrass. The singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has recorded six studio albums thus far, the latest being last year’s Owls, Omens and Oracles. This year The Andy Warhol Museum has booked her for a solo show as part of its Sound Series, devoted to cutting-edge and genre-bending musicians. Expecting a larger audience than usual, the museum slated Valerie June to sing and play at the 600-seat Carnegie Lecture Hall in Oakland. But the venue has been sold out for the occasion, so try your secondary ticket sources! 8 p.m. 4400 Forbes Ave., Oakland. (R.H, M.V.)
