Runaway June announces debut EP
Produced by Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Thomas Rhett, Brett Young), the lead single is "Buy My Own Drinks. The song was co-written by Runaway June's Naomi Cooke, Hannah Mulholland and Jennifer Wayne along with Hillary Lindsey and Josh Kear.
The release also includes their cover of Dwight Yoakam's "Fast As You."
"This is a group of songs that really expresses us as a band," said Cooke. "We have been working on this project for two years, and so many life changes have happened to us as people, and now more than ever, we have songs that tell the stories of those moments."
"The EP is a really fun and diverse look into our sound as a band. It incorporates the fun of the live show, but also shows some soft moments that fans can relate to," added Mulholland.
Jennifer Wayne said Huff "has changed our lives. He's completely zoned in our sound. He's so collaborative, and he's such a joy to work with."
"Buy My Own Drinks" went for adds at radio today.
The track list is:
1) "Buy My Own Drinks" (Hannah Mulholland, Jennifer Wayne, Naomi Cooke, Hillary Lindsey, Josh Kear)
2) "I Am Too" (busbee, Corey Crowder, Liz Rose)
3) "Got Me Where I Want You" (James Slater, Kat Higgins, Justin Morgan)
4) "Fast As You" (Dwight Yoakam)
5) "Wild West" (Justin Lantz, Billy Montana, Jennifer Wayne)
The trio will open for Carrie Underwood on her Cry Pretty Tour 360 next spring.

CD reviews for Runaway June
Runaway June put a lot of thought in how their five-song holiday project would sound. Yes, three of these five selections are already overly familiar tunes to most of us. Yet, you haven't heard them sung exactly like this before. The trio Runaway June put their vocal harmony skills to excellent use throughout this lovely little treat - its first with Natalie Stovall.
Additionally, the music is real country, too. Opener, "Christmas on the Radio" celebrates popular holiday ...

The trio have a way with their phrasing, getting inside the songs and making them their own. The beauty of the album lies in the singing, but we've all heard these songs about breakups, makeups, loss, and love before, and by the closing track, we're left with faded memories of beautiful voices. ...
Finally, after two long years of hard work and positive buzz, Runaway June has dropped its debut self-titled EP. With hitmaker Dann Huff on board as producer and early tracks having received praise both in print and in concert. So, is it worth all the hype? In a word, yes.
While Runaway June, comprised of Naomi Cooke (lead vocals, guitar), Hannah Mulholland (vocals; mandolin) and Jennifer Wayne (vocals; guitar), are fresh to the scene, they play together like a well-oiled machine. ...
