Multi-Instrumentalist Rebecca Zapen performs solo at the Independent Bar Tampa"A third-generation musician in a family tree including players of violin, piano, double bass, guitar, and accordion, it's not surprising that Rebecca Zapen has developed into a versatile performer: classically-trained violinist, jazz crooner, and award-winning multi-instrumentalist songwriter. " 

Rebecca Zapen's latest album Nest is as delicate as a newborn, not only in sound but in subject. The album is filled with varied instrumentation and genres where strings and horns (and the ukulele's South American cousin the Cavaquino) mix with finger-picked folk and cinematic vocal harmonies.
