Earlier this year, our very own Alexandria Leavenworth wrote an opinion piece about how the all-female country music trio, Runaway June, is one of the most underrated groups in country music. To read that op-ed click here.
Today we’re here to tell you that this trio is now officially a duo. 2019 was a big year for the ladies; they were touring with Carrie Underwood and released their phenomenal debut album, Blue Roses. But bandmember Hannah Mulholland, who is known for mandolin and vocals, announced that after 5 years together, she is leaving the group.
Her announcement from the official Runaway June social media page(s) read:
It’s with great respect and love that I must announce my departure from Runaway June. We have spent 5 years chasing dreams, climbing mountains, conquering things we never imagine possible, and having lots of fun along the way. I am so thankful for the opportunities I have had, and all of the amazing people I have met along the way. Our great team, supportive label, amazing fans, and all of our champions at country radio… You guys have changed my life forever. I have dreamt these dreams since I was 5 years old, and I feel so fortunate to have gotten these chances and been a part of this incredible journey. I wish everyone continues success and happiness. I hope you will continue to follow my creative endeavors and share in what the future has to hold. It is bittersweet, but I am excited to continue to evolve and grow, while keeping these memories near and dear to my heart. Thank you. Love to you all. – Hannah
The band’s page posted the goodbye message, along with a picture of the three girls and simply captioned the post: ‘We love you Hannah & are so thankful for the years and memories we’ve shared on this journey! Wishing you the absolute best!”
We’ll continue to follow Naomi Cooke and Jennifer Wayne’s ’s journey as Runaway June, and will bring you the latest updates as they happen. Looks like there are no hard feelings; but it’s certainly sad to see this trio break-up before getting their big break.
