Artist Description
"A daring, definite talent, whose feel for the folk idiom results in moving material. Soulful is the word"-Wall Street Journal
If American old-time music is about taking earlier, simpler ways of life and music-making as one’s model, Abigail Washburn has proven herself to be a bracing revelation to that tradition. She—a singing, songwriting, Illinois-born, Nashville-based clawhammer banjo player—is every bit as interested in the present and the future as she is in the past, and every bit as attuned to the global as she is to the local. She pairs venerable folk elements with far-flung sounds, and the results feel both strangely familiar and entirely unique. Her 2008 release, Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet, featuring Béla Fleck, Ben Sollee and Casey Driessen, was embraced by music lovers and critics all over the world.
At Joe's Pub, Abigail Washburn will perform songs from her new record City of Refuge— a sublime marriage of old-time and indie-pop music with lush instrumentation, picked and sung modal melodies, catchy hooks, and achingly beautiful vocal arrangements.
