Princess June is a mystic folk trio from Middletown, Rhode Island composed of singer/songwriters Myah Strauser (Whitefish, MT) Griffin Keeffe (North Kingstown, RI) and Telli Quinn (Middletown, RI).
With an emphasis on rich three-part harmonies, Princess June gets a great deal of their inspiration from bands such as The Mama's and the Papa's, Fleet Foxes, Fleetwood Mac, The Cowsills, Donovan, Nick Drake, Simon and Garfunkel, and many more.
Outside of music itself, much of their inspiration is drawn from nature, spirituality, and the synchronicities of life. Mystic Folk has been described as "Cosmic lullabies for the soul"; with contemplative, uplifting lyrics and soothing organic instrumentals, Princess June delivers just that.
Princess June is recording their first studio album, Beyond the Fence, with producer, Steve Rizzo, at Stable Sound Studios in Portsmouth, RI. They plan to release singles and the full length album on all streaming platforms and in CD format in spring of 2025.
