Abbie Gardner is a fiery dobro player and singer-songwriter.   Whether performing solo or with Americana darlings Red Molly, her acclaimed tales of love and loss, both gritty and sweet, are propelled by her impeccable slide guitar chops.  Her latest CD, "Wishes on a Neon Sign", is available now and features a collection of original songs including co-writes with Chris Stapleton and David Olney.  In support of her new album, Abbie is currently touring the West Coast, with local stops on the Folk Brothers, Wednesday morning (Jan. 17th) at 10:30 and that same afternoon at Armadillo Music at 5:30 .
