ABOUT LUCAS NEIL:
Known for his profound songwriting, ethereal vocals, and charming live presentation, Lucas Neil is widely considered the brightest new face in New England Folk Music. He is intent on creating an environment for loving and healing energies for every audience he encounters. Often accompanied by pianist Olivia Charlotte and mandolin player Sandy Allen, Neil's music is sure to fill your heart. Neil’s musical style, an acoustic blend of Americana and indie-folk, has a palpable sense of spiritual symbolism, storytelling, atmosphere, and gratitude for life.
Neil combines tastes of the great singer/songwriters of years past like James Taylor and Bob Dylan with the new-age musicality of acts like Gregory Alan Isakov, Blind Pilot, and Buck Meek.
Most important to the creation and experience of his music, Neil says, is an intimate relationship with our natural world, meaning the elements and creatures in our environment as well as our own psyche, bodies, and souls.
Neil has appeared on bills with Ryan Montbleau, Josh Rouse, Kat Wright, the Wolff Sisters and has been featured in such events as the Rhode Island Folk Fest, Hartbeat Music Festival, Blackbear Music Festival, Mystic Folkways, River Glow Arts Festival, and Rhode Island’s Conserfest, an arts festival that raises proceeds for the National Nature Conservancy.
Lucas Neil is also the leading man of folk collective ‘Undercover Cameo’ alongside Olivia Charlotte, Elizabeth Beisel, and Sandy Allen.
ABOUT PRINCESS JUNE:
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 have released four singles as of June, and plan to release the full length album on all streaming platforms and in CD format in summer of 2025.
