Abigail Dowd grew up under the longleaf pines in the
Sandhills region of North Carolina. A singer-songwriter and guitarist known for
her storytelling and command of an audience, she has been called “a writer of
the highest caliber” (The All Scene Eye). Pulling from her heritage of
storytelling and determination, Dowd weaves hints of Celtic melodies with the
soulful gospel of the south to create a sound that dances between folk, rock
and blues. (abigaildowd.com)
