The Lovers

Originally from Dayton, Ohio, Amanda June made her way down to Nashville at 18 years young to focus on her career as a singer, songwriter and develop her artistry. Amanda has been singing since she could talk and picked up the acoustic guitar around the age of 14. Her music stands out among most music in the sense that it’s music with passion, soul and written from personal experience. With a down-to-earth sensibility and a smooth, sweet voice, Amanda’s style blends perfectly with that of Cole Vosbury, a fellow artist who also heard Nashville calling his name.

You may recognize Cole from Season 5 of NBC’s The Voice in 2013. Cole, a Louisiana native, has been staying busy since his time on the show. Cole has been playing music most of his life. Cole’s style stands out among others, his soulful, intriguing and gravelly voice compliments his blues, rock, country influenced playing on guitar. After having success in his hometown playing piano bars and bar gigs with his band, he auditioned for The Voice and while on Blake Shelton’s team he placed Top 4. He went on to lay roots in Nashville while he traveled around the country to play shows. While traveling and co-writing the past few years with Amanda June they decided to form a duo, “The Lovers”. They are lovers of music, art, and each other. As independent artists and full-time musicians, they do it all from the creating to booking shows. They travel as much as they can to spread their sound on the road and always be playing music. That’s what it’s all about.
