Known both for her stunning solo work and as a member of the acclaimed Americana harmony trio Red Molly, Gardner brings an unmistakable sound that seamlessly blends folk, blues, and bluegrass into an intimate live experience.

Bouncing between a driving rhythmic backbone and ripping lead lines, her slide guitar acts as a second voice, perfectly dancing in conversation with her vocals. Her live show is a masterclass in solo performance, channeling the gritty soul of Bonnie Raitt, the confessional depth of Lucinda Williams, and the slide expertise of Jerry Douglas, while remaining entirely her own. A first-rate musician and a songwriter to be reckoned with, Gardner has earned widespread national recognition. Her solo record DobroSinger climbed to #11 on the Billboard Blues Chart and #2 on the Folk DJ Charts, celebrated by critics as a raw, real, and intimate recording free of studio tricks. Her previous album, Wishes on a Neon Sign, featured a standout co-write with country superstar Chris Stapleton. Her exceptional talent has earned her honors as a Kerrville New Folk Finalist and a nomination for Folk Alliance International’s Artist of the Year. Don’t miss the chance to experience this world-class artist live in an evening full of storytelling, brilliant instrumentation, and soulful songcraft. www.abbiegardner.com https://www.instagram.com/abbiegmusic https://www.facebook.com/abbiegardnermusic Opening for Abbie is ACMA Member Michael Boswell Boswell’s musical journey began in the small town of Brighton Tennessee, nurtured by the sounds of his father’s guitar and his granddaddy’s fiddle.
