Abbey Blackwell: Primarily known as a bassist for groups like Grammy-nominated band Alvvays and Seattle surfers La Luz, Abbey Blackwell (Seattle) is focusing her energies on writing for solo guitar and voice.
In the last few years, Abbey has moved into writing songs that feature the voice and guitar (a time-tested combination). Under her name, she has released one EP (2021) and two LPs with another on the way in April 2026. All of which have garnered recognition — The Brooklyn Vegan recognizing Big Big Motion as "a lovely slice of folky indie rock with a lush atmosphere and just a little ragged edge,” and My Maze (2023) ended up being one of Gorilla vs Bear’s top albums of 2023.
Her songwriting calls back to the lyrical, hanging melodies of Sibylle Baier and Linda Perhacs, with angular, geometric chord progressions that lean in satisfying directions. Rendered through a self-assured and distinctive musical vocabulary, her songs offer an inspired and idiosyncratic take on personal songwriting, with insights into the central pressure points of human experience that run deeper than transparently confessional.
