First/Last - Goodbye June

"Growing up scattered throughout the South and Midwest, cousins Landon Milbourn, Brandon Qualkenbush, and Tyler Baker had longtime plans of forming a band. Then in June 2005, Baker's brother was tragically killed in a car accident while home on military leave. "It wasn't until after Shane passed away that we decided to finally make this happen, and to focus on writing music that felt really meaningful to us," notes Qualkenbush. Having chosen a name to mark the month of Shane's death, Goodbye June soon forged a heavy, soulful sound that fused Milbourn's ferocious vocals with Qualkenbush and Baker's brilliantly gritty guitar work."

Goodbye June is an alt-rock band from Nashville who are currently touring behind their debut EP release from 2016 entitled Danger in the Morning. They hit Pittsburgh at The Smiling Moose on Sunday (1/12) and much thanks to Landon Milbourn (Lead Vocals), Brandon Qualkenbush (Rhythm Guitar/Backing Vocals) and Tyler Baker (Lead Guitar) for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.
