This week’s Flyer cover subject, Valerie June, has booked two high-profile performance slots in the wake of the Tuesday release of her debut album, Pushin’ Against a Stone.
June will make her network television debut next Wednesday night, August 21st, on The Late Show with David Letterman. According to June, she’ll perform her first single from Pushin’ Against a Stone, “Workin’ Woman Blues,” with a full band — two guitars, bass, drums, fiddle, and trumpet. June’s Humboldt, Tennessee-based parents will fly in for the performance. It’ll be their own New York City debut.
Before Letterman, June will perform in Washington, D.C. on Monday, August 19th as part of National Public Radio’s popular “Tiny Desk Concert” series. June will perform solo for NPR.
