Abbie Gardner has appeared at The Fallout Shelter with the band Red Molly and as a solo artist back before the pandemic changed everything. Both times she has mesmerized the audience with both her angelic voice and mind blowing skill as a guitarist. Her career is pretty much solo and solo with sparse accompaniment which takes not only incredible skill but at the same time incredible courage.
Abbie Gardner is a fiery dobro player with an infectious smile. Whether performing solo or with Americana harmony trio Red Molly, her acclaimed tales of love and loss, both gritty and sweet, are propelled by her impeccable lap style slide guitar playing. Solo performances feature the dobro as a solo instrument, bouncing between a solid rhythmic backbone and ripping lead lines, all in support of her voice and songs. Her latest recording DobroSinger hit #11 on the Billboard Blues Chart. It’s intimate, real and raw - her dobro and voice recorded at the same time at home, without a band or any studio tricks to hide behind. You can hear every breath, every chuckle, as if you are in the room with her.
"Not only a first-rate Dobro player but a songwriter to be reckoned with." --John Platt, WFUV
