Sometimes a departure from the familiar is the only way an artist can truly move forward. Chris “Abby†Abbondanza certainly believes that to be true, which is why the former Povertyneck Hillbillies singer is focused on only one thing these days - his new solo career.
These days, when Abbondanza isn’t writing, recording or performing, he can probably still be found in the studio – the television studio. The singer hosts the popular “Bullseye Outdoor Adventures†show, a hunting and fishing program that can be seen on the Sportsman’s Channel and the Man Channel. Aside from the exposure of being broadcast in more than 30 million homes, it also provides a truly unique opportunity to mix business with pleasure.
“I’ve always cared more about being a good songwriter than anything else,†says Abbondanza, who wrote or co-wrote nine of the album’s eleven tracks. “Working now as a solo artist has really allowed me to explore some different directions that I wasn’t necessarily comfortable with before, so this whole process has been kind of liberating for me,†he adds.
Now, with the upcoming release of his first solo project, Promised Land, Abbondanza admits his career has entered into uncharted territory once again. With a renewed sense of independence and his first solo album on the way, the “Promised Land†is starting to look like familiar territory once again for Abby.
