So many songs are born while sitting in nature
I used to write a lot in open tunings. The Rocky Mountains were singing this one as I sat surrounded by epic beauty.

Shared the stage with some pretty incredible ladies over the past week! @imwithherband @leylacello @laradownesmusic

Ancient Voice, Old Song
Listening to the music of the river, letting it keep time.
Slowly it gave me a key and the timbre of a quiver,
piercing my soul.
Wondering how long the river’s been sharing her songs.

Stockholm 🩵✈️🩵 What a night. I love these intimate solo shows so much.
I used to think about being a huge star, but I changed my mind a few years ago. There’s something special about these small rooms—being close to my people. 📷 @niklas_ny

Dear fans, it’s a gift to be with you.
Love, V. June See ya in NYC with Kingfish soon:-)

Bruce Springsteen!

Sharing the stage was an absolute blast, but the highlight of the night was when Bruce joined the second line and stepped out into a sea of thousands of fans. What a moment! 🎺🎶✨

@roseannecash, @shemekia.copeland, @officialkebmo, @tromboneshorty, and little ole me. Feeling grateful to have been part of the magic. And to have my pal @tommykha capturing these moments on camera.

When your voice just sounds like an old record every time you sing a song 🎶 played ‘til sunset:-)

Well, that was a blast! Fresh off the New Orleans second line lead by @tromboneshorty and Bruce Springsteen. And I got to sing with @shemekia.copeland She is the sweetest soul ever 🥹🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
