Chasing June is the folk rock collaboration of two New Jersey singers and songwriters, Judy Aron and Steve Coleman.
“Many times I see “new” artists who seem as though they are forcing something about their performance...they often seem like they are trying to follow a pattern and end up hiding their true talents. Watching Chasing June, I saw two performers who enjoy making music, and whose talents are evident and highly original. There was joy on the stage, and it was infectious among the audience who were enjoying the great music. I can't wait to hear more!”

Hailing from the northwest region of NJ, Judy and Steve first met in the summer of 2009 when Judy was holding court on stage at Lake Mohawk’s famous brewpub Kroghs. Steve drifted over to have a listen, and in about 1-2 minutes, he knew he might have found a writing partner, who could sing her heart out and command her guitar. Judy and Steve liked the idea of a co-writing duo and quickly went to work as Chasing June. Beginning in the winter of 2009 through today, Judy and Steve released an EP (Aug. ‘10), their debut album, “Under the Slate Grey Sky” (Jan. ‘11)
and have been involved with other writing projects including their contribution to the local NPR radio station’s (WNTI 91.9 FM) Christmas album. The original song “I’m coming home to you” was was part of the compilation that also includedsongs by Ellis Paul, Gandalf Murphy and the Voodudes.
Hollywood, CA also came calling to request Judy and Steve’s talents to record many Traditional folk songs for a Bubble Factory full feature film, “Blood is Blood” (2011). Producer Sid Shinberg. In November 2010, Judy and Steve were invited to
showcase at the Suzie Wolenberg Folk Radio DJ showcase at the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance Conference.
In this short history Chasing June has supported their music by traveling from Maryland to New Hampshire. They have been asked to open for National acts as well, spreading the good news about NJ’s new Folk duo.
