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. Over the years, Zimmerman has received praise from contemporaries such as 4AD labelmate and collaborator, Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker (who notes, “Tucker Zimmerman is one of the greatest songwriters of all time”) and Angel Olsen, as well as some of the greats, from Tony Visconte to David Bowie (who called Zimmerman “too qualified for folk”).
