This episode is a cautionary tale about how an artist can work hard, have talent and something to say, then just when their career is starting to take off, through no fault of their own, the rug can get pulled out from underneath and they’re back at the beginning, if not questioning whether music is even the right direction.
Mike June has a wealth of music industry experience behind the scenes and on stage. He's toured extensively with Texas songwriting legend Jon Dee Graham and his accomplished and amazing wife Jess Klein.
As he was about to release a masterpiece of an album, Poor Man's Bible, a number of broken promises and missed opportunities, through no fault of his own, set him back and had him questioning whether music was even the right path for him.
But his keen eye, quick wit, insights and informed and experienced opinions kept finding their way into songs that just had to be written, performed, and recorded. He's preparing to make a comeback with an upcoming album, Modern American Folk Music, which will finally come out on August 30.
