THIRD OFFERING OF THE YEAR, PRODUCED BY RYAN HADLOCK (ZACH BRYAN, BRANDI CARLILE, THE LUMINEERS, WYATT FLORES)
NASHVILLE, TENN. – Adding to her growing catalog of prolifically honest songs, evocative artist-writer Zandi Holup today releases her third song of the year with “Go Find Less.” The new song follows recent “Mountain Man” and “Dirty Wings” as a preview of what’s to come on her forthcoming project produced by Ryan Hadlock (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, The Lumineers, Wyatt Flores).
“’Go Find Less’ is a song about reclaiming my power — a voice rising from the ashes of vulnerability,” Holup shares. “Much of my writing has long stemmed from a place of victimhood, but this piece marks a rare moment where I step beyond pain to confront the perpetrator, turning my strength inward. In truth, I believe both paths are valid; yet this song stands as a testament to the moment I chose to find my voice not in my suffering, but in my resilience.”
Written alongside Autumn Buysse, Brock Butler and Ben Johnson, with its tumbling banjo lines and lonesome fiddle melodies, the new song takes on a mood of willful self-possession as Holup voices her refusal to compromise her complexity for the sake of pleasing a man:
Of course you don’t want a girl like me
Who’s strong and free as a summer breeze
I don’t need you to be happy
And that scares you to death…
If I’m too much then go find less
Listen to “Go Find Less” here.
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. Holup has upcoming festival billings at Under the Big Sky Festival, WE Fest 2025 and AMERICANAFEST. For more information visit zandiholupmusic.com.

ABOUT ZANDI HOLUP
Evocative artist-writer Zandi Holup is a wildflower: unique, free as the wind, and blossoming in Music City. Born in Pennsylvania, she drifted from city to city until she found her home in Nashville. Cut from the same cloth as legendary folk singer-songwriters like Joan Baez, Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, Holup’s raw brand of original folk country flourishes through unfiltered storytelling reminiscent of Dolly Parton and emphasized by her emotive vocals. A grassroots following placed her on the map as snippets of demos and unreleased songs resonated across social media in increasing numbers. Holup has shared the stage with Steve Earle, Amanda Shires, Jamey Johnson, Wyatt Flores, 49 Winchester and more. Inking a publishing deal with Arthouse Entertainment and TurnTable Music in partnership with Universal Music Publishing, she signed a record deal with Big Loud Records in 2023. Her first four releases on the label, “Gas Station Flowers,” “Dirty Wings,” “Mountain Man” and “Go Find Less” are available now.
