RECORDED IN WILDFLOWER MEADOW IN NASHVILLE
FEATURES HAUNTING COVER OF JUICE WRLD’S “LUCID DREAMS”
NASHVILLE, TENN. – On the heels of the release of her singularly eccentric debut album Wildflower, today prolific artist-writer Zandi Holup releases Wildflower: Pickin’ in the Meadow. The new collection features a haunting cover of Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams,” with an accompanying live video.
“Music can be reimagined a myriad of different ways,” shares Holup. “I recorded these live versions with my band, and I love how they turned out. I’m excited to share them as a bit of a different take on my album Wildflower.”
The five-song collection was recorded in a wildflower meadow in Nashville, the perfect earthy environment to capture Holup’s “rainy, sometimes shuddered vocals” (Billboard). New stripped-down versions of “Go Find Less,” “Mountain Man,” “Mary Jane” and “Wildflower” are featured on Wildflower: Pickin’ in the Meadow. The gorgeous project reflects her intricate artistry and debut album that American Songwriter defines as “packed with stark truths and deep emotions wrapped in poetry.”
Preceding the new project, Holup’s debut Wildflower embedded her songwriting with a lovely entangling of poetry, confession and fable-like narrative. When it came time to create the album, she joined forces with producer Ryan Hadlock (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, The Lumineers, Wyatt Flores) and spent a month recording at Bear Creek Studios in the woods of northwest Washington. The result is an intentionally simplistic but exquisitely detailed sound firmly centered on her voice and lyrics.
Not only a prolific writer but also performer, the Pennsylvania-born, Nashville-based artist has shared the stage with Steve Earle, Amanda Shires, Jamey Johnson, Wyatt Flores, 49 Winchester, Midland and more. For more information visit zandiholupmusic.com.

Holup joined forces with producer Ryan Hadlock (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, The Lumineers, Wyatt Flores) on the record, captured during a month recording at Bear Creek Studios in the woods of northwest Washington.

A mesmerizing performer, Holup has opened for the likes of country legend and Grand Ole Opry member Steve Earle, Amanda Shires, Midland and more. “It’s almost like my voice is the embodiment of who I am as a person, and when I sing, I feel like it’s my soul coming out,” Holup shares.
