SUMMARY:Abbie Gardner + Finals of Performing Songwriter Competition
DESCRIPTION:Showtime: 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFEATURED PERFORMER: ABBIE GARDNER\n\nALSO THIS NIGHT: Finals of Performing Songwriter Competition. Finalists will include: Dan Cloutier\, Thomas Charles Clukey and Charlotte Morris!\n\nABBIE GARDNER is a fiery dobro player with an infectious smile. Whether performing solo or with Americana darlings Red Molly\, her tales of love and loss\, both gritty and sweet\, are propelled by her impeccable slide guitar chops.\n\nAs an award-winning songwriter\, captivating vocalist\, and a world-class lap style dobro player\, she has an unmistakable sound all her own. This is masterfully captured on her 2022 CD “DobroSinger.” The record made it to #11 on the Billboard Blues Charts and #2 on the Folk DJ Charts\, receiving rave reviews in Bluegrass Unlimited\, Acoustic Guitar Magazine and American Songwriter. It’s a raw intimate recording full of blues\, ballads and the ache of the unknown. It’s quite a contrast to her previous CD\, which featured a co-write with Chris Stapleton and leaned on full band production. Abbie stands strong as a solo act and has opened for Lori McKenna and Martina McBride.\n\nAcoustic Guitar Magazine says\, “sheer brilliance and power … her evocative guitar is a second voice throughout\, sometimes singing in unison\, in harmony other times\, or answering as in a conversation with the singer. The playing and singing are both impeccable and loaded with personality. You can hear every nuance of the slide\, smooth one moment or rattling slightly at the end of a phrase like punctuation; and her intimate\, pitch-perfect vocals—wistful\, playful\, confessional—sound like they’re dancing with the guitar.”\n\nHer background is as varied as the songs she writes. Her father\, Herb Gardner\, is a stride pianist and dixieland trombonist. Abbie didn’t get into music school on her original instrument (flute)\, but graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Occupational Therapy. She gradually found her way back to music in Boston’s folk music scene.\n\nDuring the pandemic\, Abbie started teaching free Woodshed dobro lessons in her backyard and posting them to YouTube. Helping other people fan the flames of their creativity has always been a nice balance to performing. She has taught in person at Nashville Dobro Camp\, ResoSummit\, Kaufman Kamp\, Rockygrass Academy\, and Roots Music Camp. Then for Songwriting\, she’s taught at New England Songwriters Retreat\, Swannanoa Gathering\, Summer Songs\, and Moab Folk Camp. Students can check out her month-long\, small group virtual songwriting classes and her downloadable “Dobro from Scratch” course.\n\n“Not only a first-rate Dobro player but a songwriter to be reckoned with.” –John Platt\, WFUV
