A songwriter who blends folk, blues, and Appalachian traditions into something quietly her own.
For a good sense of her range, listen to 'Call Me A Fool' and 'Man Done Wrong' back to back. They show how she moves between folk storytelling and something closer to blues without losing her center.
June grew up in Memphis with a Pentecostal preacher father and a mother who sang in the church choir, and that Black church tradition still shows up in her phrasing and delivery. Songs like 'Call Me A Fool' and 'Man Done Wrong' mix folk and blues without settling into any single genre. She's worked with Dan Auerbach, Sufjan Stevens, and Allison Russell, but the voice that comes through is unmistakably hers.
Her early years in Memphis church services gave her a musical foundation that never really left. The 2021 album 'Underneath the Dream' continues exploring personal and social themes with the same distinctive voice that first surfaced there.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
