SPIRE LOBBY SERIES: LORI DIAMOND & FRED ABATELLI

About the Artist
Featuring Anelise Diamond Merrihew. Bostonian Lori Diamond and New Yorker Fred Abatelli, have been creating and performing music together in New England since their “destined” meeting on Myspace in 2007. Lori, an award winning songwriter (finalist, Great American Songwriting Contest 2010, Best Female Vocalist, Pulse Magazine 2011 & 2012), combines alluring, soulful vocals and seasoned piano playing that are a perfect match for Fred’s solid finger work and clever phrasing on both bass and guitar. Fans of Norah Jones, Sarah MacLachlan and Joni Mitchell, quickly become fans of Lori & Fred as they explore Jazz, Acoustic, Folk, Pop, Gospel and Blues influences and gently infuse them in a flavorful, Contemporary Folk style that’s all their own.
