Dobro
Abbie Gardner is a fiery dobro player with an infectious smile. You may know her as one of the founding members of Red Molly, though she has an unmistakable sound as a solo artist. Her 2022 CD “DobroSinger” hit #11 on the Billboard Blues Charts and masterfully captures the sound of vocals and dobro without any additional accompaniment. Quite a contrast to Wishes on a Neon Sign (2018), which featured a co-write with Chris Stapleton and leaned on full band production. She's a Kerrville New Folk Finalist (2025) and was recently nominated for Folk Alliance International's Artist of the Year. Abbie loves teaching and finds it a nice balance to performing. She’s taught at ResoSummit, Nashville Dobro Camp, Moab Folk Camp, Rockygrass Academy, Kaufman Kamp, Swannanoa Gathering, Colorado Roots Music Camp, and the New England Songwriters Retreat, as well as developing her own curriculum online. She’s excited for her first time at PSGW!
