Tiffany Williams and Sara Trunzo

  • Brooklyn Coffee Tea & Guest House 209 Douglas Ave, Providence RI 02908 (map)

On Tour from Nashville TN we are pleased to welcome award winning singer songwriters Tiffany Williams and Sara Trunzo to The Brooklyn!

Singer-songwriter Sara Trunzo was born in northern New Jersey, makes music in Nashville, Tennessee, and calls Unity, Maine her heartland. A farmer and community organizer until 3 years ago, she released a debut EP, Thanks Birdie in 2017 followed by an LP called Dirigo Attitude in 2019. The album reached #22 on the Folk Radio DJ chart. It benefits from the voices of Americana heavyweights Darrell Scott on “Food and Medicine” (which reached #3 on the Folk Radio DJ chart and garnered first place in the 2018 Maine Songwriters Association song competition), and Mary Gauthier, who is heard on “In the Bend of the Cumberland” (which reached #12 on the Folk Radio DJ chart).

Her no-frills, no-nonsense lyrics cut to the bone of the struggles of people in the Northeast, women, and rural voices.

With an exciting, emerging voice Singer Songwriter, Tiffany Williams crafts achingly beautiful songs about what it means, in her experience, to be from the Appalachian Mountains. "It’s home and always will be, but, for me, it took moving away to write about it."

When she "took off down the big road," she ended up in Nashville, where she writes songs and fiction. For the last five years, she has honed her songwriting through commercial, co-writing, and solo pursuits.

Tiffany received the 2011 Jean Ritchie Fellowship for Appalachian Writing and 2017 Denny C. Plattner Award for fiction. Her first album, When You Go, was released in January 2019 and reached No. 15 on the North American College and Community Radio Folk Chart and No. 12 on the Folk DJ Chart.
