A neighbor on death’s door. A small town where people still say “hello.” Friends in a barn attic, making music late into the night. These are the real-life stories that thread through Slow Cooker, the new full-length from Say ZuZu co-founder Jon Nolan. Rooted in community and recorded mostly live in the upstairs room of Newmarket, NH’s Stone Church Music Club, the album feels handmade - woven from intimate jam sessions, spontaneous connection, and a shared love of storytelling.

It began as a “just for fun” project among longtime friends and grew into something deeper: an ode to slowing down, paying attention, and creating together. The result is a warm, welcoming collection for fans of folk-rock authenticity. Think front-porch honesty with the crackle of a lived-in LP.

Slow Cooker is set for release on September 19, 2025 via Strolling Bones Records.
