Valerie McQueen at The Stage at WTJU 8/29

Singer-songwriter Valerie McQueen treks in from the Shenandoah Valley for an evening of Americana at Offbeat Roadhouse. Drawing influence from genre standouts like Gillian Welch and Alison Krauss, McQueen’s strong voice drives a sound that brings folk to the front, with touches of country and rock inflections. Her songs tease out narratives drawn from everyday life, using the powerful medium of music to connect with audiences over stories of family, love, confidence, and vulnerability. The concert will also be broadcast on WTJU’s website, YouTube channel, and over the airwaves on 91.1 FM.

Friday 8/29. Free, 8pm. The Stage at WTJU, 2244 Ivy Rd. wtju.net
