SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT!
Winterruption YEG is putting on a couple shows this summer to tide you over until next January.
We’re thrilled to welcome Valerie June to Edmonton for her first show since mainstage at Edmonton Folkfest in 2023.

Known for her distinctive voice and singing style, Valerie June’s “every quiver bespeaks emotional honesty” (New Yorker). As a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and three-time Americana Music Honors and Awards nominee, June weaves fresh medicinal downloads of love, sweetness, goodness, and joy with songs that have flowed through her for years. She has recorded three best-selling solo albums and written songs for legendary artists such as Mavis Staples and The Blind Boys of Alabama. She has been praised by Bob Dylan and shared the stage with myriad artists including John Prine, Norah Jones, Tyler Childers, Dinosaur Jr., Booker T. Jones, Emmylou Harris, M. Ward, Robert Plant, Meshell Ndegeocello, Avett Brothers, Dave Matthews, Angelique Kidjo, Willie Nelson, Brandi Carlile, and Elvis Costello. Her albums have been featured by numerous publications such as Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Washington Post, NPR Music, Vogue, Elle, Mojo, Uncut, and many others, and she’s made television appearances on The Tonight Show, CBS Saturday Morning, PBS, Austin City Limits, BBC, and many more. She splits her time between Tennessee and New York when she’s not touring. “Valerie June has built a devoted following by ignoring expectations. She is simultaneously rural and cosmopolitan, historically minded and contemporary, idiosyncratic and fashionable, mystical and down-to-earth.” — New York Times

Hey - you know that guy who’s always taking pictures at shows? The guy who leads the team of photographers every year for our festival? The dude with the great eye and spikey hair?
Welp - it’s his birthday.

Go celebrate with our beloved camera man Eric Kozakiewicz this Saturday @divebaryeg with @booshaok @rollthebonesmusic @verttigo.music
