Singer/songwriter/guitarist Abigail Dowd grew up under the longleaf pines in the Sandhills region of North Carolina. Known for her storytelling and command of an audience, she has been called "a writer of the highest caliber” (The All Scene Eye). Her soulful voice and unique classical guitar style combined with the edgy bass of Jason Duff caught the attention of Acoustic Guitar Magazine, which described the album “Not What I Seem”: “The guitar-driven introspective folk of the 1970s [as] a touchstone, but so are blues and roots rock ’n’ roll.”

Pulling from her heritage of storytelling and determination, Dowd weaves hints of Celtic melodies with the soulful gospel of the south to create a sound that dances between folk, rock and blues.

Dowd’s latest album “Beautiful Day” was released on April 23, 2021. Recorded live with a full band at the Fidelitorium, the album was produced by Grammy nominated engineer/mixer Jason Richmond.

The Smoky Dunes are a Wilmington, NC-based bluegrass duo composed of guitarists and vocalists Drew Walker and Marshall Brown. They have immersed themselves in the traditional styles of acoustic fingerpicking and flatpicking and call on tunes from the many musical tributaries of Appalachian folk music. They’re sure to bring those high lonesome harmonies, flat picking standards, and finger bustin’ Merle Travis tunes, but also offer original songs off their debut self-titled EP.
