Hailing from Asheville, NC, Red June is the powerful trio of Will Straughan, Natalya Zoe Weinstein, and John Cloyd Miller. Seamlessly blending bluegrass, acoustic folk, and American roots music with a touch of indie rock sensibility, their sound is both timeless and refreshingly original. Known for their striking three-part harmonies, masterful instrumentation, and heartfelt songwriting, Red June has been winning over audiences since 2009. The band has been on hiatus since 2015, so this rare reunion is a chance to experience their dynamic and soul-stirring music once again.
