What people are saying
“A fresh, unique voice, Abby Posner demonstrates through her writing an introspective humanity and an intangible artistic quality that draws you close and holds you tight. Pulling from a palette that is both intellectually broad and emotionally deep, the results are well worthy of the attention she has received. You don’t simply listen to Abby’s music, quite the contrary, it seems to be listening to you and you can feel it.”
-Stephen Marsh, Marsh Mastering
“I was drawn to Abby’s project for her incredible diversity as an artist, and ability to cross genres and use nearly any instrument to express a point of view. I have continued to be increasingly interested in her work after having the pleasure of seeing Abby’s creative process first-hand. As a well-rounded, formally trained musician, material comes to her quickly and fully, with a speed and depth I have yet to notice in another artist. It’s rare to find music where both the instrumental and lyrical content have the emotional transcendence to be meaningful, while also clearly maintaining the much-needed properties for popularity, like a contagious beat or well-crafted hook. Even more impressively, at a live performance Abby manages to do all of this, while simultaneously playing three instruments and telling jokes that are actually funny. In the same vein as a very limited number of gifted musicians, I think Abby’s music and approachability as an artist have the ability to make female-driven folk music exciting and accessible to a whole new audience.”

“As an audience member your rooting for Abby the minute she opens her mouth. She’s a natural … with such ease and swagger on the 5 different instruments she casually plays during her set. Her music has a whimsical depth to it. Beyond that…She’s incredibly charming and witty and its hard not be engaged during every moment she’s performing.”
-Samantha Yonack and Jim Hanft, Musicians
“Abby Posner is one of those rare musicians that is talented way beyond her means. Blending traditional bluegrass and folk inspirations with contemporary themes, Posner’s sweet and catchy tunes about life and love are a refreshing addition to the landscape of music today.”
-Chris Russo, Film Director
