Artist History Abby grew up in Boston where she haunted blues bars and jazz clubs and gobbled up any rock she could find. This, of course lead to one band, then another, then on to New York where she became (and still is) a recording engineer and songwriter. Now she's also doing what's felt good all along... her own thing. Helping her do this are five great players she met along the way.. her buddies, her partners in crime. Yeah, it's great to rock and roll!
