You’ve seen a lot of singer/songwriters with acoustic guitars come through this series, but the dobro, played by sliding a steel bar along the strings, provides a particularly dynamic, expressive backdrop for Gardner’s songs.
Don’t let her infectious smile fool you, beneath the radiant exterior lies the soul of a fierce and fiery dobro player. You might know her best from her work with Americana darlings Red Molly, but Abbie Gardner centered her own gritty, sweet tales of love and loss on her 2022 solo album Dobrosinger. You’ve seen a lot of singer/songwriters with acoustic guitars come through this series, but the dobro, played by sliding a steel bar along the strings, provides a particularly dynamic, expressive backdrop for Gardner’s songs.
Come for the heartfelt, intimate ballads and stay for the raw, bluesy picking. Gardner’s got all your musical bases covered, and we are very excited to have her close out our Spring 2023 series.
