Hello dear friends,
I would like to begin by thanking you for your continued support and encouraging comments, I am very honoured to have so many lovely friends!
A have continued to receive messages regarding my new song “Energy” and how it came about. To answer your varies question I decided the best way forward would be to make a blog for everyone to read.
I spend some of my spare time enjoying the local beach and on one particular occasion (back in 2010) when I was out admiring the natural surroundings and walking along the sandy beach, I felt my feet sink into the sand and the lyrics evolved from there. For those of you reading this not familiar with the lyrics, I have included them within this blog.
A few months passed before the music took shape, then a few weeks later whilst on a business trip in England I decided to recorded the vocals and guitar live in a great empty hall, never travelling far without my guitar! I feel the acoustics bouncing from wall to wall speak for themselves within the recording and no effects on those parts were needed. The studio cut (which includes the live recording) however does include strings and drums to enhance the music.
For those still to experience “Energy” it can be heard at this link;

Energy lyrics:
The sand gave beneath their feet
The sea exhilarating in the heat
Moon light skies, glimmers whilst waves sleep
The power of excitement pulsing through their veins
Sweat and passion blending amid the fast flowing pace
Stopping for a breath as music filled the air
His eyes held her smile reflecting all the while
Could this be, really be, their energy.
Thank you again for your continued support! :)

Thank you for visiting my page. A little about me, I began writing and composing my own material in 2010 and steadily progressed with experimenting using different sounds and technics. I do what I do here for the pleasure it brings me and am truly grateful for all the constructive feedback I have received! I do not class myself as a musician, merrily someone that loves to experiment with creativity using the mind and enhancing the sounds implemented from guitar and voice to computer.
Due to all the encouraging feedback that has been forthcoming on this journey, I decided to record my first album “Newfound Heights” soon to be released on-line.
I perform live acoustic sets locally and in my home town, although currently I am taking time out from to record my 2nd album "Open My Eyes".
A few recorded tasters can be heard at these websites:

Along with the above I also drum for Logic Effect an alternative rock band and also drum for a rock/goth/opera covers band too.
2012 has so far proved to be a rocking year!

Hello again :)
Thank you for all your support and feedback, I have been overwhelmed with responses to my new song Walked Away (which will be on my 2nd album) the 1st album has been passed to the mastering master (Mr Mitchell whom is a good friend and not only a great Sound Engineer but also an amazing Bassist) whom is currently very busy finalizing the songs for me.
My 2nd album is in the recorded stages and the cover art for it is near completion.
Stay tuned for more details as they occur.
Thank you again for all your support and remember you can download some of my songs for free by joining the mailing list here www.reverbnation.com/junestevenson

Late last Saturday night a few ideas came to mind for a new song, it's rather different with some unusual ideas and will be work in progress for a couple of weeks.

Picked up the guitar tonight and plucked a chord out of the blue and came up with the basis for a new song along with lyrics! Looking forward to working on it over the next few weeks, have named it Blinded but that could all change as the lyrics progress.
In the meantime you can (if you add yourself to the mailing list) download for free my latest song Getting Through. Hope you enjoy and thank you for all your support, it keeps me writing new music :) June x

Recorded in 2010 and although there is a video on youtube thought it would be good to have an mp3 on reverb too
