Review for Juni Fisher:
Juni Fisher recorded her first Western release, "Tumbleweed Letters" in late 1999. Monterey Cowboy Poetry and Music Festival director Gary Brown heard her first album, and hunted her down to perform at the 2004 Festival. He shared Juni's music with other promoters and artists, and started the wheels turning, allowing Juni to shift her profession to the music she loved most.
Juni released a second album, "Sideshow Romance" in the summer of 2004. Her third release, "Cowgirlography" (2006) features the 2007 WMA Song of the Year winner: a beautiful duet with Sons of the San Joaquin's Joe Hannah, and received a WMA Top Five nod for Album of the Year. 2008 brought her most ambitious project to date, a historical album about her great
grandfather's early life as a young cowhand, titled "Gone For Colorado." Fans and Dee-Jays began raving about the CD, and in 2008, she became the first woman to receive the WMA Songwriter of the Year award. She was chosen by Larrivee Guitars as their featured artist for
their September and October 2006 magazine advertisements, and proudly endorses Larrivee Guitars, Elixir Guitar Strings, and Tonto Rim Trading Co, hats.
Fisher is performing at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, NV, Monterey Cowboy Festival, Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival, Spirit of the West Festival in Washington, Cochise Cowboy Poetry Gathering, Heber City Cowboy Poetry Gathering, The Riverbend Music Festival, and many more venues. From her appearances, and by word of mouth, the bookings and the kudos keep rolling in, including the 2005 Academy of Western Artists Western Female Vocalist of the Year, 2005 Western Music Association Crescendo Award, 2006 Western Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year, 2007 WMA Song of the Year and 2008 WMA Songwriter of the Year.
