Career

In 2005, Vogelzang recorded her first studio album, Some Kind of Parade, at the Carnegie Mellon School of Music. Her second album, "The Things That Airplanes Do", followed in 2007 and served as her senior thesis at the school.[3] After graduation she continued making albums, began touring, and eventually gained accolades at songwriting competitions, including the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival Emerging Artist Showcase,[4] Telluride Troubadour Contest,[5] Rocky Mountain Folks Festival Songwriter Showcase,[6] and the National Women's Music Festival "Got Talent" Competition.[7]

In 2014, Vogelzang appeared on Wisconsin Public Television's 30-Minute Music Hour[8] and Wisconsin Public Radio's Simply Folk[9] programs. Her work in the Madison, WI community included teaching at Girls Rock Camp Madison[10] and founding the Wintersong Madison event,[11] a holiday revue which raised over $10,000 for Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin in 2014.[12][13][14] In 2015, Vogelzang recorded Hiker with producer Todd Sickafoose.[15]

In 2016, Vogelzang moved from Madison, Wisconsin to Los Angeles, California. She is on the songwriting faculty at the Los Angeles College of Music. In 2017 Vogelzang and Adam Levy co-founded the NELA Song Salon, a songwriting workshop for fellow local musicians that later became a residency at the Bootleg Theater.[16] Vogelzang recorded Beacon from 2017-2018 with co-producer Tyler Chester and musicians Adam Levy and Jay Bellerose, which later released in 2019.
