Solo dobro & voice - solo bass & voice - then teaming up for a power duo! Come check out this first time collaboration between two ground-breaking artists.

Abbie Gardner is a fiery dobro player with an infectious smile. Whether performing solo or with Americana darlings Red Molly, her songs are propelled by impeccable slide guitar chops. Her live show is truly unique - as an award-winning songwriter, captivating vocalist, and a world-class lap style dobro player, she has an unmistakable sound all her own. This sound of vocals and dobro unaccompanied is masterfully captured on her 2022 CD "DobroSinger." The record hit #11 on the Billboard Blues Charts and #2 on the Folk DJ Charts. It’s a raw intimate recording full of blues and heartfelt ballads. 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 (ceremony in Jan 2026). Though she has traveled around the world with Red Molly, Abbie stands strong as a solo act.

Nate Sabat is an award-winning bassist, singer-songwriter and arranger based in Brooklyn, NY. Nate has written and arranged music for NPR's Radiolab, the Young People's Chorus of New York City and the Heifetz International Music Institute. Additionally, a number of his songs are in rotation on Sirius XM’s Bluegrass Junction channel. He has performed on stages throughout Europe, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and the United States, at festivals and venues including Celtic Connections, Savannah Music Festival, The Caverns and Carnegie Hall. In April 2024 Nate released Bass Fiddler, the debut full-length project under his own name, produced by the legendary Bruce Molsky.
