Annie Ragz is freaking awesome. She’s so excited to show what she's got as a three chord wonder. She has been living in NYC for almost twenty years and while she’s been walking the streets for that time a soundtrack started to play in her mind. It turned into an album and somewhere along the way became a play. In an age where we spend so much time being entertained by small handheld rectangles, now is a great time to show off something original, something that has been buzzing around inside her for almost two decades. Something that answers an age old question: What happens to a lost dream? Because, honestly, why the heck not?

8pm in Main Venue; Tickets on sale Friday 3/10 at noon
https://citywinery.com/
The latest full-length from Valerie June, The Moon and Stars: Prescriptions for Dreamers emerged from a long-awaited revelation on the part of the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter. “With this record, it finally became clear why I have this dream of making music,” June says of her third album for Fantasy Records. “It’s not for earthly reasons of wanting to be awarded or to win anybody’s love—it’s because dreaming keeps me inquisitive and keeps me on that path of learning what I have to share with the world. I think when we allow ourselves to dream like we did when we were kids, it ignites the light that we all have within us, and helps us to have a sort of magic about the way we live.”
