Biography

Voted "Rock Artist of the Year" at the 2006 Kansas City Christian Music Awards...nominations for "Album of the Year", "Live Performance of the Year" and "Group of the Year".

120,000+ miles of touring, 3 national tours (including 1 co-headline), one transmission and five drummers are all part of what Farewell June has overcome to bring their music to the masses since 2004.

Be still, and know that I am God. Psalms 46:10
In this knowledge comes the ability to live life and share your story and God’s truth freely.

Farewell June is an organic pop band whose desire is “To play great music with thought provoking lyrics for a people that desperately need to know the love of God.” The band believes their music lives and thrives in the modern world. Their songs have a free-spirited familiarity and undeniably proclaim God’s acceptance for everyday people.

Touring September - November with platinum selling PETRA on their Farewell Tour across the US and Canada, the band is excited about the new fans they will make on the road. Farewell June has already toured with FFH and Anthony Evans plus appearances with Point of Grace, Matthew West, Everlife, Charity Von, Poor Man's Riches and others.

“We want to be a vessel through which the anointing of God can flow. We go into places where people are hurting and offer fresh enthusiasm for life.”

Farewell June’s singer/songwriter Robert “Jonas” Woods longs for more than what pop culture is selling. During the summer of 1999, he spent time in the town square of Springfield, Missouri playing his music and freely sharing his life story. Jonas fostered great friendships with the people he met and simply listened. It was through these times that God prompted him to start the ministry that is now Farewell June.

Lead guitarist Nick Woods delivers his blues-inspired riffs to Farewell June’s debut release, 1939. Nick plays electric and acoustic guitars, as well as the violin and banjo. He attended Evangel University and after playing in various college bands, became a member of Farewell June.

Randall Wildman, Farewell June’s bassist, studied jazz in college and then combined the techniques of artists he admired to create his own contemporary style. However, Randall’s musical virtuosity doesn’t stop with bass. He is currently working on a master’s degree in piano from Southwest Missouri State University.

The pulse behind Farewell June is dynamic drummer Cameron Wilson from Oklahoma City, OK.

Becky Woods adds organic harmonies that define Farewell June’s vocal blend. As a missionary kid, Becky grew up overseas in Egypt, Lebanon, Cyprus, and Jordan. She graduated from Evangel University in Springfield, Missouri where she met her future husband Jonas. Becky was an elementary school teacher, but has now directed her complete focus to Farewell June.

The rich textures and lyrical depth of Farewell June’s 1939, produced by CCM legend Jonathan David Brown, chronicles authentic life experiences. 1939 provides the listener with strong and familiar sounds, like those of James Taylor, Dave Matthews, Counting Crows, Rich Mullins and Mercy Me.

Putting their faith into action, Farewell June has embarked on a journey to share their introspective and memorable songs to those searching for a deeper purpose in life. "Servant" was the first single off 1939 followed in September by "Welcome Home".

The band is endorsed by Sennheiser, Westone Music Products, Elixir Strings, Showcase Custom Cases, Curt Mangan Strings, Ultimate Support Systems and use sound systems by db Technologies.
