“Women Want to Hear Women With Elaina” Featuring Runaway June

by Elaina Doré Smith | September 17, 2018

The ladies of Runaway June—Naomi Cooke, Hannah Mulholland and Jennifer Wayne—are three of the smartest, kindest and most talented women I have ever met. This is a trio country music should be proud to have representing our genre.

Hannah, Naomi and Jennifer have been fierce supporters of the WWTHW podcast since the beginning, and I’ve been dying to get them on! The time has finally come, and the ladies do not hold back. Enjoy their wisdom and wit, and when you’re finished listening to the podcast, make sure to enjoy their video performances AND their new EP, which is featured in this week’s Women Want to Hear Women playlist!
