MUSIC FOR LUNCH!
The music is free and you can bring your own lunch or buy ours - every Thursday & Friday 12-1 ! 7/09 Thursday: Valerie June Nouveau Folk 2009 has been a breakout year for neo-folkie Valerie June. Audiences around the country now recognize her as a featured performer on acclaimed director Craig Brewer's $5 Cover series for MTV Television and MTV.com. Since $5 Cover is a blend of fact and fiction revolving around the contemporary Memphis music scene, it's only fitting that Valerie would be part of it. For years, she's been the darling of Memphis' small club and coffee house circuit. Her soulful blend of folk, R&B and even ancient country elements makes her popular with critics and audiences alike. With a wealth of diverse influences ranging from Tracy Chapman to Elizabeth Cotton to Gillian Welch and the Carter Family, Valerie has crafted her own sound which she calls "Original Organic Moonshine Folk Music."
