Rebecca Zapen :: Nest
 (Bashert Records, November 2011) Nest
{Folk} Lush, cinematic, delicate new folk foraying into Americana, bossa nova, and pop. Barely out of the starting gate, Nest has already been awarded the distinction of Florida Album of the Year by the Florida Times-Union.
Get your copy of Nest at www.cdbaby.com/cd/rebeccazapen or on iTunes.

Rebecca Zapen / Gary Starling Group :: ZapStar
 (Bashert Records 2006) zapstar_cover_120
{Jazz} "ZapStar" features singer and violinist Rebecca Zapen. Her seductive voice caresses the ear while guitar (Gary Starling), upright bass (Chelsea Chason), and drums (Peter Miles) set an insouciant swinging rhythm going. The voice pulls in one direction, the beat in another.

Rebecca Zapen :: Japanese Bathhouse
 (Bashert Records 2005) Japanese Bathhouse
{Folk-pop} "Nothing adequately prepares for the way in which her deeply personal album instantaneously envelops and never loses its grip.... The title song and others bring to mind no less than early solo McCartney and Brian Wilson's SMiLE.... One of those near-perfect hidden gems..." -- Relix
 [ CD Baby ]  [ iTunes ]


Rebecca Zapen :: Hummingbird
 (Bashert Records 2003) Hummingbird

{Jazz} Rebecca Zapen's debut solo album, Hummingbird, blends violin, voice, sax, marimba, and rhythm section into a warm spacious sound.
