Zoe Mulford

What do cows do on their night off?
How is songwriting like cleaning the refrigerator?
When preparing to leave your spouse, should you take out the trash? Songwriter Zoe Mulford answers these questions and tackles the big eternal themes — love, death, food, laundry, etc. — with humor, lyricism, and an honesty that charms diverse audiences. Backing her clear vocals with guitar or banjo, she gives each story its appropriate musical setting, creating an eclectic mix that may bring to mind Joni Mitchell, Christine Lavin, and Gillian Welch in the course of a single set.
