The Abrams

4th generation in a line of songwriters, performers and recording artists,The Abrams have a hard-earned reputation as seasoned touring veterans. They perform with an explosive energy, honed over 20 years of experience. They’ve performed at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, and embarked on tours across multiple continents from playing community halls in Texas, to a music festival in Israel. With their acceptance of the Daniel Pearl Memorial Violin award in 2006, John and James Abrams were recognized as ambassadors for peace in the Middle East through music. All of this took place before they reached legal driving age, and shows their immense talent and lifelong passion. Their touring career has also influenced their songwriting, and they continue to write and record original country music, and perform it with astonishing vigour and showmanship. Their musical family instilled in them the ability to tell stories that speak to the hearts of their fans. John and James’s most recent songs speak about experiences of love and loss, through good times and tough times, partly drawn from their personal relationships, who support them through the successes and difficulties that come with a touring lifestyle. The result is a new EP called REMINDER; a collection of songs that are both deeply personal, and widely relatable, led by the singles  “Sounds Good ToMe”, produced by Matt Rovey (Zac Brown Band, Alan Jackson), and the more recent “Good Old Days” produced by award-winning producer Jeff“Diesel” Dalziel, in addition to the band’s own production contributions. While the country duo from Kingston Ontario have gone through many different stages of their career, two things have always been true: their deep and intrinsic love of country music, and the fact that they cannot remember life before they started making country music. It has simply always been there. The Abrams are as authentic as it gets. No gimmicks. No smoke and mirrors. No filters. The Abrams just make good honest music.

The Abrams performed at Seeley’s Bay Community Hall on Friday, October 16, 2020.
