Singer/songwriter Zandi Holup has the kind of voice that instantly cuts
to the heart's deepest corners: enchanting, enigmatic, profoundly
world-weary but radiant with raw feeling. After building grassroots
following by sharing her demos and song fragments online, Holup landed a
deal with Big Loud Records and set to work on her debut album, Wildflower:
a revelatory body of work born from embracing her singular eccentricity,
ultimately bringing an incandescent beauty to the most painful of
experiences. Holup joined forces with producer Ryan Hadlock (Zach Bryan,
Brandi Carlile, The Lumineers, Wyatt Flores) on the record, captured
during a month recording at Bear Creek Studios in the woods of northwest
Washington.
Cut from the same cloth as legendary folk singer-songwriters like Joan
Baez, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, Holup's raw brand of original folk
country flourishes through unfiltered storytelling reminiscent of Dolly
Parton and emphasized by her emotive vocals. A mesmerizing performer,
Holup has opened for the likes of country legend and Grand Ole Opry member
Steve Earle, Amanda Shires, Midland and more. “It's almost like my voice
is the embodiment of who I am as a person, and when I sing, I feel like
it's my soul coming out,” Holup shares.
