Abby K draws upon many influences in her music from her childhood days in Kentucky and her exposure to the great American songwriters that transformed everyday stories into lyrical paintings. She conveniently short-hands her music as "Heart-Rock", as humanity is a central theme of her songs, set to soundtracks as beautiful as the Pacific Northwest landscape, a place she calls home today.
Abby’s earliest adrenaline rush from performing came at 16 while belting out the Star Spangled Banner in front of 20,000 Louisville Cardinal basketball fans. But it was Seattle where Abby turned her passion into a vocation writing four beautiful albums, infused with a unique blend of folk, pop, country, and rock. After releasing her debut album, Bare Your Soul in 2014, and follow-up Heart Shaped Rock in 2016, Abby released The Whole Truth in 2019 shortly before the world came to a screeching pause. Between 2020 and the present, the pandemic presented Abby with some “found” time to reflect on the relationship between all of her worlds on her latest album, Where We’re At, in 2023.
Since moving to Seattle, Abby has firmly planted deep roots in the songwriter/music community, where she performs regularly across the city and at festivals, including NorthWest Folk Life, Tumbleweed Music Festival, and the Tucson Folk Festival.
Her melodies are instantly hummable and imminently memorable, and her stories will hit you smack dab in the heart.
