Acoustic Guitar Sessions Presents Valerie June

Acoustic Guitar continues its video series Acoustic Guitar Sessions with Tennessee-born folk singer Valerie June, who performs a song from her critically acclaimed fourth album, Pushin’ Against a Stone.

We caught up with June in the upstairs poster room at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. She talked about her Carter Family and Mississippi John Hurt influences; being nurtured early on by the great Norman and Nancy Blake; and falling in love with her little Triple-O Martin.

Best of all, June played a smoking, raw version of her song “Workin’ Woman Blues.” Look for AG’s interview with the singer in the June issue (naturally) of Acoustic Guitar mag, and check out more on June’s music and career at her website.
