Fisher was originally from a farming family in
Strathmore, California. Her father was the late Howard Fisher; her mother, Ophelia "Buzz" Fisher, still runs the farm that grows oranges for Sunkist. Juni Fisher now lives in
Franklin, Tennessee, to where she moved in 1991. She graduated from Strathmore High School and
College of the Sequoias. She has the highest regard for the Western
ballad, which she has described as "a pure form of American folk music". Her musical influences early on included
Marty Robbins,
Joan Baez and
Burl Ives. She enjoys fly fishing, and riding cutting and reined cow horses in her spare time. ==References==
