I am a solo musician and teacher from the shores of Lake Superior in Marquette, Michigan. I died on April 20, 2023 due to an undiagnosed condition which has unfortunately put a pause on my long career as a music and special education teacher. I feel called to work on some tunes and I really mean it this time. I collaborate with many friends, especially Kurt Thomas Hauswirth on our project The Gerrymanderers and I also have solo material written, recorded, and produced poorly by me. 😏💙

“Understanding the order of time is important to anyone hoping to manifest a dream,” says Valerie June. “There is a time to push, and a time to gently tend the garden.”

Since the release of her 2013 breakout Pushin’ Against A Stone, June has been patiently at work in the garden of song, nurturing seedlings with love and care into the lush bloom that is her stunning new album, The Order Of Time. Some songs grew from seeds planted more than a decade ago, others blossomed overnight when she least expected them to, but every track bears the influence of time. See, time has been on June’s mind a lot lately. It’s the only constant in life, even though it’s constantly changing. It’s the healer of all wounds, the killer of all men. It’s at once infinite and finite, ever flowing with twists and turns and brutal, churning rapids that give way to serene stretches of placid tranquility. Fight against the current and it will knock you flat on your ass. Learn to read it, to speak its language, and it will carry you exactly where you’re meant to be.
