September 7: ZAN STRUMFELD
Everyone knows life has two constants, for singer/songwriter Zan Strumfeld—it’s love and heartache. And while she loves to love, her losses expose a creativity that only resurfaces in the depths of sorrow. What transpires? Lullabies for the lonely, anthems for the revivalists, ballads for the hopeful. With a soulful and seductive vulnerability, she carefully reveals snippets of her deepest secrets that leave you craving more.
