About Me

John Cloyd Miller of Lo Fi Breakdown, Natalya Weinstein of Lo Fi and Polecat Creek have formed a folk-indie-oldtime-grass trio. We are Red June. I am also collaborating with Jenny Benford (formerly w/ Jim and Jenny and the Pinetops; Crooked Jades), Brad Hutchison (Greasy Beans; Jim and Jenny and the Pinetops) and Josh Haddix (Greasy Beans; The Whappers). We need a name. Josh and Brad and I are also Cavemen, capitalized because we make up part of Lance Mill's backing band. Eliza Lynn is a great singer-writer from N/Asheville. I play dobro and guitar and sing with her as a duo and in her band. All of these folks are my friends on myspace (except Garbage Bear because they stink) so check them out.ModMySpace Profile Customizer mspobj enableJSURL="false" enableHREF="false" saveEmbedTags="true" allowScriptAccess="never" allownetworking="internal" type="application/x-
