In a society that is constantly bombarded with negative media Farewell June stresses the importance of creating an atmosphere that allows for creative and musical expression while giving glory to God through ALL of it. We strive to play GREAT music that challenges us, and others to dig deeper, listen closer, and to look inside ourselves to find our full identity in Christ. Never ceasing to engage the challenge with full force. Knowing full well that we are on the front lines of what God is doing in this world, and therefore remaining in constant prayer and devotion with each other and our mentors to keep ourselves fresh and ready for anything and everything.
Farewell June has toured with Jill Parr, Anthony Evans, FFH, and most recently stepped off tour with Christian music legends PETRA as they embarked on their 50 city farewell tour! Farewell June has shared the stage with Michael W. Smith, ThirdDay, Matthew West, The Newsboys, Mercy Me, Jars of Clay, Bethany Dillon, Tate, Mute Math, Jeremy Camp, Downhere, Jonah 33 and many more!!!
Farewell Junes singer/songwriter
Rob "JONAS" Woods longs for more than what pop culture is selling. During the summer of 1999, he spent time in the town square of Springfield, Missouri playing his music and freely sharing his life story. Jonas fostered great friendships with the people he met and simply listened. It was through these times that God prompted him to start the ministry that is now Farewell June.
Lead guitarist
Nick Woods delivers his blues-inspired riffs to Farewell Junes debut release, 1939. Nick plays electric and acoustic guitars, as well as the violin and banjo. He attended Evangel University and after playing in various college bands, became a member of Farewell June.
Background Vocals and Auxillary Percussion
Becky Woods adds organic harmonies that define Farewell Junes vocal blend. As a missionary kid, Becky grew up overseas in Egypt, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Jordan. She graduated from Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri where she met her future husband Jonas. Becky was an elementary school teacher, but has now directed her complete focus to Farewell June.
Drums
Rounding out Farewell June is Supulpa, OK native
Keenon Hurst on drums. Keenon brings years of drumming experience and passion to the bands already mesmerizing live shows.
Bass
The newest member of Farewell June is bassist
Robbie Selph! Robbie is a true musician and an amazing guy. Make sure you stop over to say hi to Robbie at your next Farewell June concert! You'll be truly impressed with his skills on the bass.
The rich textures and lyrical depth of Farewell Junes 1939 chronicles authentic life experiences. 1939 provides the listener with strong and familiar sounds, like those of James Taylor, Dave Matthews, Counting Crows, and Mercy Me.
If you haven't seen Farewell June live than you are truly missing an amazing event! Not only are they superior musicians but they are a true joy to watch as they interact with us, the audience, and as the interact with eachother. It is clear that they have brought something fresh to "christian" music, something needed.
The band is endorsed by Sennheiser, Westone Music Products, Pork Pie Percussion, Elixir, Showcase Custom Cases, Curt Mangan, and Ultimate Support Systems.
