A graduate of the University of Georgia with a bachelor’s degree in International Affairs, with a year broad at The University of Oxford in England, this “guitarist serves up seven pleasantly crafted nuggets of melodic folk-pop that rise above typical coffeehouse fodder thanks to Zúñiga’s strong voice and thoughtful arrangements”, a review by Athens’ Flagpole newspaper on Zúñiga’s debut album, Someday Soon. Ecuadorian-Nicaraguan singer/songwriter Sarah Zúniga’s shows are like listening to a fun mixtape compiled of deep-felt and catchy folk-rock, and Latin tunes.
