You might recognize Abbie Gardner from the female harmony trio Red Molly, who have performed before for Golden Link. That’s where she has honed her skills since 2004 – writing songs, singing, and playing the lap-style resonator guitar often referred to as a dobro.
Her latest album is called DobroSinger – which she describes as being similar to a singer/songwriter, but with more emphasis on the dobro as a lead instrument. Ron Olesko of Folk Music Notebook says, “DobroSinger is a masterclass in how to deliver a song, taught by an artist who is at the top of her game.”
Abbie’s music is gritty and bluesy, with a bit of western swing and honky tonk. She has songs about love and longing, sibling relationships, independent women, and even an answer song to Dolly Parton’s “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind” (entitled “Only All the Time”).
Abbie returns on Friday, November 15 at 7:30 pm at Greece Baptist Church. Joining her is a special guest – Ryan David Green of the Arizona acoustic duo Ryanhood. Known for virtuoso acoustic guitar playing and delicate vocal tunes, Ryan will play a few songs on his own during her set and join her for some songs as well.
