About Mikki

Mikki Zip's roots are planted in Syracuse, New York, but Nashville became home in 2013, just before her fourteenth birthday. She started the way Nashville artists do — fairs, festivals, bars and BBQ joints — then went off to earn a BFA in Performing Arts in Los Angeles and New York before coming back to Music City in 2020 to record.

What she makes is old-school country with a bit of rock-n-roll and a modern edge, written in the storytelling tradition. Her debut EP Somethin' To Write About (2024) earned a 2023 Josie Award nomination for Best Song across all genres; the singles since — "Sweethearts of the Dive Bar", "650 AM", "Bars Keep Gettin' Bigger" — have taken her to the New York State Fair, the Kansas State Fair, the Portland Strawberry Festival, Exit/In, Ole Red Orlando, The Listening Room and CMA Fest week, plus Red Barn Radio and WDVX's Blue Plate Special.

Now represented for live booking by The Joseph Henry Agency, Mikki is available for festivals, fairs, bars and honky-tonks, corporate and private events and radio shows — acoustic, duo or full band.

Meet the artist

Mikki Zip

The show scales to the room: high-energy with the full band on a fair stage, mellow and story-forward as an acoustic or duo set. Expect the EP, the new singles and the dive-bar anthems that earned her 34k TikTok likes — played by someone who learned the craft on the same kind of stages she now headlines.

From Syracuse to a Nashville BBQ joint at fourteen, to a performing-arts degree, to state fair stages — the songs are the road.
