Chasing June is the folk rock collaboration of two New Jersey singers and songwriters, Judy Aron and Steve Coleman. In 2010 they were named the " Folk DJ Choice Artist" by the Northeast Regional Folk Alliance. Ron Olesko of "Traditions" on WFDU & "The Village" on Sirius Satellite Radio said, "Watching Chasing June, I saw two performers who enjoy making music, and whose talents are evident and highly original. There was joy on the stage, and it was infectious among the audience who were enjoying the great music."

Both performers have released solo albums and albums as members of other groups. Their debut album together, "Under the Slate Blue Sky" was released in January 2011. They had contributed to their local NPR radio station's Christmas album their song I'm Coming Home To You which was on a compilation that included Ellis Paul, Gandalf Murphy, and the Voodudes; and, they have recorded traditional folk songs for a Bubble Factory feature film, "Blood is Blood" (2011).
