ABOUT THE ABRAMS

It’s hard for John and James Abrams to recall a time in their young lives where they weren’t creating and playing music together. As fourth-generation musicians, The Abrams have taken the “family business” to a whole new level with their recent signing to Warner Music Canada and major label self-titled debut EP. The Abrams is a departure from their earlier work, spurred by Gavin Brown – the Juno award-winning and Grammy nominated producer. Brown (Billy Talent, Metric, Three Days Grace) took it as a personal challenge to bring out the best in The Abrams and introduce them to a broader audience. The resulting EP does indeed make an indelible first impression, yet is only a taste of what The Abrams and Brown have created together. Knowing now what they can accomplish in the studio, and how to translate that to the stage, The Abrams are fully prepared to take a place alongside Canada’s best-known country music stars.

Barely into their teens, the brothers made their mark at many high profile U.S. bluegrass festivals, and in 2005 they became the youngest Canadians to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. In 2008, they released Blue on Brown, a collection of Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie songs, followed in 2011 by Northern Redemption, their first all-original album, which nonetheless echoed the work of their classic country heroes such as the Louvin Brothers and Jim & Jesse.
Their lives have revolved around music since childhood. Now that they’ve, in a sense, successfully completed their apprenticeship, The Abrams are poised to step onto the larger stages that modern country music offers. Their debut EP proves that, indeed, they were born ready.

ABOUT ABBY STEWART

Abby Stewart may be young, but she has accomplished so much in such a short period. From sharing the stage for a duet with Dean Brody, opening for Hunter Hayes on his Canadian tour or completing a set at some of Canada’s biggest music festivals, her star is on the rise. Her versatility and passion for music shines through whether she’s belting out one of her radio friendly originals, a Taylor Swift or Band Perry lyric or turns back the clock to a Dolly Parton, Anne Murray or Buck Owens classic.

ABOUT RIVER TOWN SAINTS

River Town Saints is a Canadian country music group from Ottawa, Ontario composed of Chris Labelle, Chris McComb, Jeremy Bortot, Jordan Potvin and Daniel DiGiacomo. Labelle, McComb and Bortot formed the trio Labelle in 2013, later adding Potvin and DiGiacomo and changing their name to River Town Saints. The group began playing shows around their hometown in 2014. They signed to Open Road Recordings in July 2015 and released their debut single, “A Little Bit Goes a Long Way”, in November of that same year. The song debuted on the Billboard Canada Country chart in January 2016. A music video, filmed in Ottawa, premiered on CMT the following month. Since early 2015, the band has opened for Tim Hicks, Eli Young Band, Kenny Chesney, and Tim McGraw.
