Valerie June: Blending folk, blues, and Appalachian elements into a timeless sound that Rolling Stone calls “at once young and old,” Valerie June writes material with the influences of socially-minded songwriters like Bob Marley.

Irma Thomas: R&B and soul singer Irma Thomas won her first GRAMMY in 2007 after an estimable career working with such icons like Randy Newman, and continues to uphold her unrivaled title as the “Soul Queen of New Orleans.”
