New York based neo-folk songwriter June McDoom plays an EP release show at a church.
Last Thursday evening, NYC-based neo-folk songwriter June McDoom brought her new EP With Strings (out now on Temporary Residence) to a live audience in a church in Ridgewood, Queens with string accompaniments. Growing up in South Florida in a Jamaican household, June McDoom was raised around reggae music, which echoed throughout every room of her childhood home. Later, she discovered and nourished her own deep love for folk music and songwriting of the 1960’s and 70’s. These influences shown true during this truly transcendent show inside Stone Circle Theatre’s sanctuary.
She was also joined by South Carolina producer and singer Niecy Blues for an opening set, bringing her nourishing blend of ambient, operatic R&B.
Many thanks to Joseph Buscarello for being there to capture photos of this special night.
