I met Abe at the 2024 Annapolis Songwriters Festival. He stood out as one of the great original folksingers of our time. From his masterful approach to storytelling, Steadman-esque painting style, and his work documenting the snake-handling Baptist churches of Appalachia; Abe is a fascinating deep dive into a truly original mind. We met before his 10AM set at City Dock Annapolis and used a high chair as a mic stand.
