At just 21 years-old, singer-songwriter Zella Day appears to be on the fast track to major success.

Part of that can be partly attributed to having doing what she does since a very young age. Expressing herself through music just came naturally. Soon she found herself singing at her parent’s coffee shop. Record companies knocked on the door. And now she appears to be on her way.

Some say that she is single-handedly making “’60s nostalgia cool again.” After watching her performance, I must say: completely agree on our end. And would add, there might even be a hint of Janis Joplin-like swagger to the way she moves across the stage, and engages the audience. Plus: tambourine! Thankfully, Zella Day doesn’t appear to want to conform to today’s watered-down pop norms.

I met up with Zella earlier this year at the Live in the Vineyard music festival in Napa Valley. There she performed an incredibly energetic, exciting, and absolutely unique set. Fans were all over the performance, as you can see, jumping up and down, wanting more.
