SUMMARY:SPIRE LOBBY SERIES: ABBIE GARDNER
DESCRIPTION:Presented by The Antonia and Vladimir Kulaev Cultural Heritag
 e Fund. This series showcases local and regional musicians in a relaxed 
 and intimate setting. The lobby is transformed into a 70-seat showcase l
 ounge! Abbie Gardner is a fiery dobro player with an infectious smile. W
 hether performing solo or with Americana darlings Red Molly\, her tales 
 of love and loss\, both gritty and sweet\, are propelled by her impeccab
 le slide guitar chops. As an award-winning songwriter\, captivating voca
 list\, and a world-class lap style dobro player\, she has an unmistakabl
 e sound all her own. This is masterfully captured on her 2022 CD “DobroS
 inger.” The record made it to #11 on the Billboard Blues Charts and #2 o
 n the Folk DJ Charts\, receiving rave reviews in Bluegrass Unlimited\, A
 coustic Guitar Magazine and American Songwriter. It’s a raw intimate rec
 ording full of blues\, ballads and the ache of the unknown. It’s quite a
  contrast to her previous CD\, which featured a co-write with Chris Stap
 leton and leaned on full band production. Abbie stands strong as a solo 
 act and has opened for Lori McKenna and Martina McBride. Acoustic Guitar
  Magazine says\, “sheer brilliance and power … her evocative guitar is a
  second voice throughout\, sometimes singing in unison\, in harmony othe
 r times\, or answering as in a conversation with the singer. The playing
  and singing are both impeccable and loaded with personality. You can he
 ar every nuance of the slide\, smooth one moment or rattling slightly at
  the end of a phrase like punctuation\; and her intimate\, pitch-perfect
  vocals—wistful\, playful\, confessional—sound like they’re dancing with
  the guitar.” Her background is as varied as the songs she writes. Her f
 ather\, Herb Gardner\, is a stride pianist and dixieland trombonist. Abb
 ie didn’t get into music school on her original instrument (flute)\, but
  graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Occupational Therapy. She gr
 adually found her way back to music in Boston’s folk music scene. “ Not 
 only a first-rate Dobro player but a songwriter to be reckoned with. ” –
