A third-generation musician in a family tree including players of violin, piano, double bass, guitar, and accordion, Rebecca Zapen has developed into a versatile performer: classically-trained violinist, jazz crooner, and award-winning multi-instrumentalist songwriter. Her latest release, Nest, was awarded Florida Album of the Year 2011 and debuted at #12 on the Folk DJ charts. "There’s a sense of arcane, jazzy pop; fifties romanticism, classical music, and Yiddish and other folk traditions; a bowl of ingredients from which Zapen intuitively ladles the right elements for her evocative compositions ... Nest is something of a miracle." (My Old Kentucky Blog). A native of Jacksonville, Rebecca now resides St. Petersburg, where she lives with her husband, pianist Jeremy Douglass, and their little boy Joel. http://www.zapen.com
