Biography:

Born and raised in Boiestown, New Brunswick, Canada, Abby grew up in a family of musicians; she took piano lessons and taught herself guitar. A songwriter since the age of twelve, a biologist, canoe guide, and chartered herbalist, Abby has a thirst to learn, travel and experience. This restlessness is evident in her music, which often paints a picture of Canada’s wilderness along with the wilderness of human emotion. A born storyteller, Abby’s simple Canadian folk style is simply an extension of herself and her observations of the world we inhabit.
Her self-titled EP, released in August 2008, has been long anticipated by her fans. The first track, "Shrugging off my skin," was selected as a semi-finalist in both the 2008 UK Songwriting Competition and the Australian International Songwriting Competition. Abby currently resides in London, UK.

“Her zest to explore the world, to experience everything and embrace uncertainty shows in her lyrics.”
