ABOUT

Anna Vogelzang believes in the power of songs. Since 2004, the Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist has independently released 7 award-winning albums and toured extensively throughout the US, opening for a wide range of acts from Gillian Welch to Sara Bareilles. Atwood Magazine says her songwriting is “beautifully visceral”, exuding “the kind of storytelling ability passed down through decades of folk tradition - it walks the line between the modern and the nostalgic”. Her voice has been described as “an ethereal, lucid thing” that “nets melodies like it’s catching monarchs,” and Magnet Magazine praises her “wide expansive sound.” 

Vogelzang is much revered in the national DIY scene. Deeply committed to community and education, in 2012 she founded Wintersong, an annual charity concert in Madison, Wisconsin, which has raised over $34,000 for the Second Harvest Foodbank of Southwest Wisconsin. Vogelzang has also taught at Girls Rock Camps across the country, empowering gender expansive youth through music. During her tenure as an LA resident, she co-founded the NELA Song Salon with Adam Levy, a songwriting group that evolved into a residency at the Bootleg Theater. She has served on the songwriting faculty at the Los Angeles College of Music, Northpark University, and is currently a songwriting workshop facilitator at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago. A celebrated songwriter, Vogelzang’s collaborators include Sara Watkins, Todd Sickafoose, Sima Cunningham, Tyler Chester, Madison Cunningham, Tasha, Courtney Hartman, and many more. 

Vogelzang’s work continues to resonate with audiences, blending personal narrative with universal themes to create music that is both introspective and connective.​
