Interview: Runaway June Talks Their New Single “Lipstick” And The Importance Of Women In Country Music

The dust of CMA Fest may have settled, but the post coverage is just beginning! What a wonderful weekend of seeing so many talented performers and having the chance to talk to some up and coming Country Music Acts!

Here at Variety Beat, we are big fans of Women of Country Music, so it was an honor to chat with a female trio by the name of Runaway June! The trio is made up of Naomi Cooke, who is 1 of 11 siblings (she dishes on what it was like growing up with so many!), Hannah Mulholland, who told us about her cooking blog and Jennifer Wayne who competed on the TV Show, The Amazing Race!

The ladies share how they came up with their group name, their empowering single “Lipstick” (ladies you need a man who will ruin your lipstick, not your mascara- unless it’s for a good reason), their dream tours and why it’s important to have women be heard on Country Radio. Their side of the story needs to be heard after all. Let’s start empowering more female country artists, they sing the words other females connect with!

CMA Fest: Gildan Broadway Stage At Hard Rock Cafe Lineup Announcement!

It’s all becoming real! CMA Fest is a little over a month away and we are continuously getting more stage announcements! The wonderful thing about CMA Fest is that there isn’t just one weekend of performers on 1-2 stages and just 40 acts. There are so many stages with hundreds of acts that give so many newer and seasoned artists a chance to be seen.

CMA Fest has just announced the lineup for the Gildan Broadway Stage at the Hard Rock Cafe.
