Episode 326: Andrea Zonn has been on my list of possible Music City star musicians to be a guest on the show for some time, but her new project the HercuLeons and their debut album of the same name sealed the deal. She’s been a leading studio and road musician since the 1990s, when she sweet talked her way into a touring spot with burgeoning country star Vince Gill. Her background is in classical violin, so she’s respected in town for her versatility and her gorgeous voice. She’s also a songwriter and recording artist with two fine albums to her credit. Now, working with her old friend John Cowan (my guest last week in Episode 325), she’s part of a nimble top-flight band that draws from soul, jazz, the blues, and Nashville roots music for one of the year’s best albums. We cover her whole journey, up to her breathtaking vocals on songs like “Face Of Appalachia.”
