When it comes to a musician's career, sometimes the stars align in unpredictable ways, revealing unforeseen collaborations, musical directions and even geographic relocations.

This collective embarrassment of riches grew even greater when neo-soul songwriter Tiffany Pfeiffer recently relocated to the Green Mountains from Brooklyn. Based on the strength of her debut EP, Amor Frio, recorded with crack backing ensemble the Discarnate Band, Vermonters will welcome her with open arms.
