Strong-minded, soft-hearted, and wildly free-spirited, each member of Runaway June possesses the kind of powerhouse talent and radiant charisma that fully commands the spotlight. But when the three musicians sing together, their crystalline harmonies create an impact well beyond the sum of its parts and instantly stir up a whole world of feeling: sweet relief from heartache, escape from the everyday chaos, an unabashed freedom to shake off your inhibitions. With Runaway June’s career triumphs including earning nominations from the Academy of Country Music Awards and the CMT Music Awards, bringing their electrifying live set to spots on tour with Country icons like Carrie Underwood and Luke Bryan, and scoring a major radio hit with their GOLD-certified breakthrough single “Buy My Own Drinks,” the Nashville-based trio are now set to deliver a new chapter and their effervescent sound shines like never before.
“Smoke, Wine & Whiskey” – the three-track EP from the “next hot trend in country music” (Billboard) – is Runaway June’s first release in 2024 and project since signing with Quartz Hill Records last spring. Leading with the boot-stomping “Make Me Wanna Smoke,” the instantly relatable song – which captures a conflicted heart struggling with love it can’t quit – made its debut on The Bobby Bones Show and is currently climbing the charts. Runaway June’s three-part harmonies remain front and center in two new tunes that complete the EP – playful “Fine Wine,” and addictive “Miss Me,” which depicts an all too familiar tale of drinking to forget the girl after a breakup.
