'Nothing
adequately prepares for the way in which her deeply personal album instantaneously
envelops & never loses its grip... The title song & others bring
to mind no less than early solo McCartney & Brian Wilson's Smile....
One of those near-perfect hidden gems'. -Relix
A Renaissance woman of three musical hats, Rebecca Zapen is a classically
trained violinist, jazz crooner, & ukulele/guitar/violin folkster.
Zapen has been featured on NPR's Open Mic; has been showcased in jazz
& folk festivals on the East & West coasts; & has performed
abroad in the UK, Paris, & Switzerland. Her music is a unique meeting
of bossa nova, folk, & swing, with a twist of novelty.
'Zapen sings with a slow beauty reminiscent of the legendary Chet Baker,
making a drowsy folk tune telling the standard tale of a doomed love affair
a stand out song. Filling simple lyrics with pure emotion, something that
Chet Baker did so well, Zapen achieves sincerity. The fact that the song
is about a Lego pirate is testament to Zapen's quirky humour.' -Gigwise
Rebecca sings & performs on violin, ukulele, & guitar, & is
joined by double bassist Chelsea Chason.
