Event
Abi Tapia
Abi Tapia smiles big when she sings. She can't help it - she's having so much fun. But in the world of independent music, where it's hip to be tortured, she sometimes feels like a Pollyanna.
Abi undoubtedly gets her optimism from her mom who was expelled from Catholic School for being pregnant with her, but called it "the best day of her life." Abi's first fifteen years were a blur of Southern towns and yearly uprooting as her mother chased work and higher education, eventually earning her Doctorate in Music and a job as a college professor. But the constant moving was presented as a big adventure and instilled in Abi the idea that new places have potential for happiness, discovery and success. So she kept moving.
The inviting warmth of the South, the expansiveness of the Midwestern Plains, the pluck and determination of a New England Yankee and a Texan's independent spirit all come together in Abi's "wanderlusty" music (a term she proudly displays on her guitar strap).
Abi chased the music around the country, playing legendary listening rooms like Club Passim, The Bitter End, The Bluebird Café and Eddie's Attic, while other nights she sang her heart out in crowded living rooms, libraries, or under a gazebo on a sprawling Texas ranch. Her songwriter's sensibility allows her to appreciate the details and subtle differences of each place she visits and offers potential adventure and inspiration.
With a new album to promote, a strong community of friends and fellow artists in Austin, the energy of and support of her partnership with MoonHouse Records and the ability to find the bright side in any situation, how could Abi not be smiling? But she won't stop moving, because there could always be something even better just over the horizon.
