Biography

Abbie Cardwell’s ongoing musical pilgrimage has taken many forms throughout its expansive journey. As past winner of Triple J Unearthed, BMI USA Songwriting and ‘The Voice’ competitor Abbie is no stranger to the Australian music scene. With guitar, banjo, harmonica and ukulele in hand, Abbies international sojourn has included performances with the likes of Tony Joe White, Steve Earle, Kasey Chambers and The Waifs to name a few. Arriving in 2022, with life after a global lockdown and intense social isolation, Abbie's experience of returning to the bedrock of her song-writing resulted in a time of reflection, formation and seeking to extract the precious stones of her creative life. Mining for the elusive diamonds of her creative life, Abbie has broken into the end of 2022 with her ‘Chispa’ well reinstated. The result has been a transformative change in style and track. Her most recent single ‘Underground’ is a departure from her more country-oriented roots, into an electronic sound. It’s an ‘Electro-Twang’ sound that showcases a divine assembly of her sublime, warm vocal tones, coupled with an alluringly dreamy intro-beat and rhythm. The song ascends into a rising, ecstatic high and there’s a musical grace and emotion that can only come from an artist's ability to go deep below the surface and find the passion that lies there. The digging has clearly paid off.
