"music is my only silence"-

About Me

I figured it was time to update my bio.. and I'm sure my page will go under some reconstruction as well.. My Name..is Gabby.. I'm 24 years old, I live in Portland, Maine.. and I write music..and play a growing collection of instruments...piano, guitar, accordian, trumpet, drums, etc etc... I did play in a band called Anna's ghost with my very wonderful friend Ian on a regular basis and we made the most lovely music.. but now that ghost will haunt Portland..for according to many.. I have skipped town.. now this is the question.. did I really skip town?? Will you see me working at some coffee shop?? The woman that used to throw her soul on stage for all to see??...those who would took the time to notice anyhow.. did I get in an accident?? die?? disappear completely??? hop a train for a drunken adventure?? go to school to become an architect?? our self titled ep may still appear in the stores of portland from time to time.. but they are rare due to lack of funds... and you can still buy them on the anna's ghost site if you so please.. I just wanted to thank everyone who took the time to listen and really love my music... you were there supporting me all along and that means soooo much to me.. I love you guys.. I also wanted to sincerely thank Sam from the Phoenix for his kind and wonderful review of our e.p... it kind of blew my mind and was a beautiful goodbye from Portland... Thank you.. p.s...please listen to all of my dearest friends of whom I love so much.. Me and the Kid, Katrina Abramo, Dead end Armory, Frank Hopkins, Moses Atwood, Meghan Yates, Dominic and the Lucid, Eliza Spraul, Yeah ok, Eudora, Don Dumont and dead man's Clothes(I'm sure I'm forgetting people and please don't be offended...cause you all know how flighty I am...heh..) I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
