Hot Summer Nights at Pissers Palace: James Steinle and Juliet McConkey

James Stienle and Juilet McConkey are the June writer in residents at Dear Butte. Both are fantastic songwriters. We will host a night of music at Walkerville’s favorite watering hole! Christy Hays and Ben Pickett will open the show. Donations encouraged.

James’ music is often filled with characters who live near borders and on open plains, who work cattle on hot days and visit honky tonks at night, who experience hardships and cause of a bit of a raucous from time to time. His songs are filled with perspective — sometimes his own, sometimes that of others — but together, shine a light on a larger picture of what life looks like for people in a place that’s often forgotten.

Raised in central Virginia, deep in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Juliet McConkey has always possessed a deep understanding of nature and interpersonal relationships that only comes from a rural upbringing. That is articulated sincerely and thoughtfully in her songwriting. With a voice as singular as they come as the impermeable vessel, her songs are a deep inhale in a world in need of a breath of fresh air.
