Zan & The Winter Folk

Caffè Lena is thrilled to welcome Zan & The Winter Folk, the award-winning Americana band from Troy, NY whose music blends raw emotional truth with irresistible rootsy charm. Led by singer-songwriter Zan Strumfeld, the band crafts songs that feel like they were written just for you—anthems for the revivalists, lullabies for the lonely, and ballads for anyone holding hope in their hands.

Named Americana Band of the Year at the 2025 Eddies Music Awards, Zan & The Winter Folk have become one of the Capital Region’s most beloved ensembles. Their performances shine with melodic vulnerability, warm, witty banter, harmony-rich arrangements and the kind of intimacy that makes every room feel like a living room.

Since their formation in 2017, they’ve graced festival stages, music halls, and house concert floors—winning over audiences with both their musicianship and their magnetic personalities.

Their acclaimed discography includes two EPs—How To Be Alone (2019) and Your Girl No More (2018)—and the breakout 2024 full-length album New Morse Code, which earned Album of the Year at the 2025 Eddies Music Awards.

If you love heartfelt Americana, rich storytelling, and music that makes you feel connected—to yourself, to your people, to the world—this is a night you won’t want to miss.
