Established in 1998, June Star has been lingering around in the Baltimore area. Although they have changed line-ups time and time again, two components always remain, Andrew Grimm and his songs.
During its tenure June Star has released four discs: June Star (1998) Songs From an Engineer's Daughter (2000), Telegraph (2001), and Sugarbird (2004). This year sees the release of their fifth disc, Northern Meridian.
June Star writes songs about loss like Russian novelists write about cold. While each song may not mention it explicitly, loss pervades the landscape, tugging at your clothes, weighing on your shoulders, creeping into your bones. On their new release, Northern Meridian, June Star continues to map the genome of loss. But it is not a map of the world shown here; rather, it is the local intimate map of your own breakups and heartaches. Perhaps it is your old neighborhood or the backstreets around your high school or college – wherever it is where you first encountered what the poet John Berryman calls “the epistemology of loss.” Regardless, you know its back alleys and shortcuts, its hangouts and its lonesome places as well as you know the sound of your own voice. This disc catches you up short, surprising you with how these places can still shock you back into those places, and how much it still stings. June Star draws these places out, not in the adolescent palette of rock n roll rage, but rather with the deliberative shades and adult muse of the best country music. Like first loss, and really every one after, it is a densely layered & textured affair.
Following is a list of the current members:
Andrew Grimm - Lead Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Harmonica, Banjo
Jason Butcher- Drums, Backing Vocals
Tom Scanlan - Guitar, Mandolin, Backing Vocals
