Runaway June (comprised of Naomi Cooke, Hannah Mulholland, and Jennifer Wayne) kicked off their set on a sassy note with their breakthrough single “Lipstick” and it was followed by the catchy and sassy “Head Over Heels.” “Fast as You” had a retro vibe to it, where the listener could recall the early music of Shania Twain, and that ought to be taken as a compliment.
“Trouble With This Town” was mid-tempo and melodically-stunning. The control they maintained over their voices was quite impeccable. Their storytelling abilities were evident on the poignant “We Were Rich,” which is a highlight from their latest studio offering, Blue Roses.
They closed their six-song set with their smash single “Buy My Own Drinks,” where the fans were singing along with them. It is only a matter of time before this single catapults to the top of the Billboard Hot Country Airplay charts.
Their album, Blue Roses, is available on Apple Music.
