About Me

This may be my journey, but every one is welcome aboard.It has been a long road for me, I've found love, made love, lost love, and broken love to pieces. I've lived a full life of good and bad, Happy and sad, continued to build myself, While others, (as they still do to this day) Try to break me down. These people are the fuel to my fire, and as the flame gets higher, they turn to ashes. I love all people, and giving is an endless part of my core, as is Honesty. So, I leave you songs here, that have been born out of this Honesty and truth in my soul, a blues sensibility, with a myriad of other influences thrown in for good measure. All this has gone hand in hand, along with the love of great friends, and musicians in my life to produce the work you may discover here. 30 odd minutes out of your life to get to know me these days it seems may be too much to ask, But for those who do stay, I hope you enjoy the music of my life, and I hope it may effect/affect you in the way music has offered me in my life. I thank you for your time. Take good care and Much love, abbo
