Texas Country’s New Female Vocalist of the Year!

Sandee June is stepping into a breakout season of her career, marked by major milestones and
well-earned recognition. She was recently honored as the 2026 New Female Vocalist of the Year
at the Texas Regional Radio Music Awards, a fan-voted achievement that highlights her growing
presence in the Texas country scene.

During the awards show, she also delivered a standout performance of her latest single, “June’s
Honky Tonk Moon,” alongside Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Paul Overstreet – a
moment she considers a true honor.

Her momentum continues on the charts, with back-to-back No. 1 Texas hits, “Hurricane” and
“Southern King,” solidifying her as one of the genre’s rising voices. Now, with her newest
release, “June’s Honky Tonk Moon,” out and resonating with fans, Sandee is proving that her
journey is only just beginning.

A lifelong Texan, Sandee grew up on a mix of classic rock and country influences, with artists
like Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn shaping the timeless storytelling style she’s known for today.
Her path into music hasn’t been traditional. After spending more than 30 years raising her
children and building a career in nursing, she picked up a guitar at age 50 and taught herself to
play. Encouraged by family and fueled by determination, she began performing at local open
mics in the Houston area, quickly gaining attention for her rich tone and authentic delivery. Since
releasing her debut single, “Somewhere Between Hell and a Honky Tonk,” in 2020, she has
continued to build momentum, including opportunities like opening for Josh Ward, Roger
Creager and Kevin Fowler.

Today, Sandee June is living out her dream – creating music that connects, inspires and reminds
others it’s never too late to chase what’s in your heart.
