Adrienne Zolondick performance

ORLANDO, Fla. – The doors of Natura’s coffee and tea are constantly opening and closing from people coming and going. There are people doing homework, talking with friends, and just enjoying the relaxed, down to earth scene.

None of this seems to distract Adrienne, a singer/songwriter who was performing that Tuesday night. She was too busy playing the soulful songs that she had written from her own personal experiences as she accompanied herself on the acoustic guitar.  

Adrienne, whose full name is Adrienne Zolondick, has been playing music for over 20 years. “Some people see an acoustic guitar and would think that my music type is folk but I would describe it as more pop, rock, alternative, or contemporary rock,” Zolondick said.

Zolondick, a native of the Florida key’s, captured the laid back style of her hometown while performing at Natura’s for the first time that night.   

It was a small gathering of about 15 to 20 people, most of who were college students.

One of those people in attendance is Christina Kuhlman. “I actually liked it a lot. I was impressed and I’m not usually impressed by the acts they have here,” Kuhlman said.  

In between each of her songs, Zolondick shared a story of what inspired her to write it. “I loved how she made it a personal performance by talking about the songs,” concert attendee Caitlin Sandberg said. “It made me like her as a person as well as a performer.”

“Some of my musical influences are James Taylor, Sarah McLachlan, Genesis, and Kate Bush,” Zolondick said. She uses those influences to write music for her 5 CD’s that she has released and sells for ten dollars each.

Zolondick looks like she is genuinely enjoying herself onstage. For more information on Zolondick, check out her websites at Adriennemusic.com or facebook.com/adriennemuz
