The Buckhorn Opera House on Saturday, March 7, 2020
SILVER CITY, NM – The Mimbres Region Arts Council, in conjunction with premier sponsor Cissy McAndrew/United County Mimbres Realty, lodging sponsor Holiday Inn Express, and Gila Mimbres Community Radio announces the sthird concert for the 2019-2020 Indie/Folk series. Abbie Gardner takes the stage Saturday, March 7 at 7:30 pm at the Buckhorn Opera House, in the scenic mountain town of Pinos Altos- just a 10-minute drive from Silver City.
Abbie is a fiery dobro player with an infectious smile. Whether performing solo or with Red Molly, her acclaimed tales of love and loss, both gritty and sweet, are propelled by her impeccable slide guitar playing. Solo performances feature truly unique use of the dobro as a solo instrument, bouncing between a solid rhythmic back bone and ripping lead lines, all in support of her voice and songs. An award-winning songwriter, Abbie's solo tour highlights include a formal showcase at the 2018 Folk Alliance Conference.
WFUV's John Platt raves, “she’s not only a first-rate Dobro player, but a songwriter to be reckoned with.” She has opened for Lori McKenna, Hot Rize, and Martina McBride.
Don’t miss out on the chance to hear Abbie Gardner at the historic and intimate Buckhorn Opera House. Doors open at 7:00 pm and the performance begins at 7:30 pm.
