After Runaway June’s lead singer, Naomi Cooke, left the band to go solo back in February, remaining members Jennifer Wayne and Natalie Stovall encouraged fans to “stay tuned” and hinted that they planned to remain a trio.

Now, they're ready to spill the beans: The newest member of Runaway June is Stevie Woodward, a singer-songwriter and guitarist who has opened for acts like Scotty McCreery and Kip Moore as a solo performer.

Naomi and Jennifer are founding members of Runaway June, along with Hannah Mulholland, who left the group in 2020 and was replaced by Natalie. The group’s last album was their 2020 holiday project, When I Think About Christmas.
