Dagmar Zuniga is the sole billed performer at Zebulon in Frogtown for a set centered on her tape-recorded, harmony-rich songs. The listing presents music that moves like disrupted signals, shaped by touch, tape hiss, and layered vocal detail. It also points to her debut solo album, in filth your mystery is kingdom / far smile peasant in yellow music, as a key part of the project behind this night.
Zuniga is a Nicaraguan-American artist based in Brooklyn. Her debut began as a solo project, written and recorded over five years in New York, Norway, and Athens, Georgia, using a Tascam 424. Pitchfork called her a “psych-folk upstart,” while descriptions of her work emphasize complex harmonies and textures in which one voice can “multiply into a chorus of selves.” Mount Eerie invited her to tour, and she has also been billed on select dates opening for Cate Le Bon and Black Country, New Road. A Bandcamp listener singled out the album’s “warmth” as remarkable.
Zebulon offers a unique evening where live music meets a creative café setting, housed in a former bakery with a striking bowstring-truss roof that enhances its sound. The venue features a large stage and a well-stocked bar alongside a menu of pizza, tacos, and small bites, inviting guests to enjoy both the music and casual dining. The room holds a diverse crowd drawn by its adventurous programming, from experimental music to jazz and indie rock, with performances that encourage attentive listening rather than just background noise. A welcoming patio extends the space, and the original 1930s wooden bar adds character. Shows range from ticketed to free, often with a late-night vibe that can include multiple sets or DJ sessions. This spot is a cultural anchor in Frogtown, blending local artistry with international acts in a relaxed yet focused environment.
