Princess June

About this event

Princess June is a mystical folk band composed of singer/songwriters Myah Strauser, Griffin Keeffe, and Telli Quinn. With an emphasis on rich three-part harmonies and uplifting lyrics, their songs are cosmic lullabies for the soul. Princess June doesn’t fit neatly into the folk genre, and that sense of quiet independence feels distinctly Rhode Island. Formed and rooted in the Ocean State, the trio’s sound reflects the places that shaped it; salt air, back roads, old houses, and a music scene where artists know each other by name. Folk sits at the foundation of their work, but it’s shaped by 1970s songwriting, modern indie, and jazz influences that mirror a blend of tradition and experimentation.

“Through rich pastoral imagery and ethereal melody, Princess June presents a big sound in a simple setting. The intimate nature of their songs and the presentation tell the story of a group that is keen on staying true to what folk music always has and always will mean to them, which is a push for com­munity and unification over the wonders of the human experience.” -Newport This Week
