a solo act from the sprawling metropolis of Appleton, WI is known for her sad songs for happy people.
3 years ago chelsea z. began playing open mics covering Tegan & Sara, Ace of Base, TLC and Missy Higgins and finally working up the courage to play "some songs" that she wrote. Since then she's been headlining shows all over the Midwest (Fox Valley, Sheboygan, Madison, Chicago) and opening for acts such as Adrianne, Steph Taylor and the State Of, Peter Mulvey, Emily White and Ellen Cherry to success with eclectic crowds. During her national tour this past April she shared the stage with Brianna Lane, Chris Koza and Larry Long while promoting her awaited debut album "Distance." Silencing crowds with raw lyrics and percussive guitar, her sound has been compared to a five-piece orchestra. With a sound that is always evolving, chelsea z. is an artist for every genre with banter for all social abilities.
"...a few angsty acoustic guitar ridden folk rock ballads about airports, Australia, love/hate... and confusion... a few interjections about wool sweaters... empathy engulfed the crowd... and she wins us over again. " - Kate Krause - Owner, Paradigm - ParadigmCoffeeandMusic.blogspot.com
"Chelsea creates great melodies and upbeat songs... she has great command of her guitar." - Aaron Baer - Owner, New Moon Cafe
"Your songs are swirling with emotion and passion and an overall goodness." - Flame Shark
"...a one-woman musical dynamo... self-deprecating humor intertwined with compelling personal revelations tugged at our heartstrings and commanded the full attention of the audience." - Jane Spietz - Concert Watch, Scene Newspaper
