I think it's funny how people get confused when they think about church music, because a lot of times there is a soloist who stands out, but my church wasn't like that at all.
Valerie June
They're all personal and self-created challenges that I think I've overcome within myself. Being confident enough to get on stage and play, things like that.

I like performing live more than anything. I get a little bit afraid in the studio.
Valerie June
Whatever people are doing, they're probably going to be doing it five years from now. You have your banker, your general store runner, the principal of the school, and things of that sort. It's nice to see that, and to get old with other people.
