Her work in the Madison, WI community includes teaching at Girls Rock Camp Madison[10] and founding the Wintersong Madison event,[11] a holiday revue which raised over $10,000 for Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin in 2014.[12][13][14]

In 2015, Vogelzang will record a new full-length album with producer Todd Sickafoose.[15]
