Burning Abigail is the Soulful Funky Groove Rock sound fronted and founded by singer/songwriter/guitarist Scotty McWalter.
By combining influences such as Jazz, Rock, Funk and R&B, then applying a retro sound over the top, Scotty has created a smooth unique, yet accessible and popular sound.
Scotty has been performing his creative arrangements and high-energy stage shows in many of Colorado's music venues since Fall of 2006, continually growing and refining the bands sound, developing a following and most importantly, entertaining the crowds and patrons by sharing his smooth groove-oriented music.
Scotty’s music has been described as, “…deep and forward thinking with an old school yet fundamentally tasty foundation and an energizing groove.â€
Scotty’s influences range from various 70’s Funk and R&B artists to many newer singer songwriters such as Pat McGee, Edwin McCain and Maroon 5.
“Soulful music… Burning Abigail play it smooth…. Scotty McWalter sings with a sense of urgency.â€
