Tucker Zimmerman

Across Tucker Zimmerman’s over 50-year career, the Belgium-based/US-born octogenarian folk singer-songwriter has maintained a level of obscurity, earning a reputation as one of American folk music’s most underrated talents. His discography – a gorgeous collection of records that explore his wide range of influences, from 12-bar blues to full-band rock concertos and classical piano compositions – is a deeply personal sonic memoir; a tribute to the people, experiences, and sounds that have shaped his life.

Over the years Zimmerman has received praise from contemporaries such as 4AD labelmate and collaborator, Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker (“Tucker Zimmerman is one of the greatest songwriters of all time”), and even David Bowie, who called Zimmerman “too qualified for folk” and placed his debut 1969 record Ten Songs on his list of 25 favorite albums for Vanity Fair. 

In the spirit of celebrating his past, opening up his world to more audiences, and continuing to build his legacy, Zimmerman resurfaces with Dance of Love, his 11th studio album and 4AD debut. Produced by Big Thief; listeners will find meaningful friendships, hard-but-valuable lessons, worldly experience, and ultimately, lots of love.
