CONVERSATIONS WITH CALVIN WE THE SPECIES hosted by CalvinSchwartz
MEET ABBY GRACE: “My most poignant, warm, introspective, andemotional interview (all these journalism years) with singer-songwriter AbbyGrace (in hospice care) and her new record label, producer Jesse Roads. Nearthe end of our interview, Abby said, “I’ve seen too many miracles not tobelieve in them.” Hours later, this isstill reverberating. Thanks to Kayden Gordon for bringing Abby into my visionand now, soul. Today was a privilege to spend time with a remarkable soul, AbbyGrace. Last night I listened to her music and words for hours (her websitebelow). Totally enamored for real. Meaningful, provocative, gleeful, abundantlife, and elevation. As I’ve come to learn, Abby has lived a life with a guitarin her hands. Even now, in hospice care, she continues to shine with the samewarmth, humor, and musical magic that touch hearts. My time with Abby was notonly about music-it is about courage, creativity, and resilience, and thisbeautiful way she shares her light with the world. And Abby mentioned Peter,Paul, and Mary, which sealed the deal for me. Abby is a gift. You’ll see.”Calvin

Growing up in a small town in Northern Canada, Abby didn’thave a lot of access to the world of music and only latently decided to followher musical passion in 2013. She taughtherself how to play guitar- a hand-built cigar box model to boot, and heroriginal material is unfailingly upbeat, jaunty and celebratory, projectinginclusive messages of hope and joy.
On a visit to Nashville in 2014, Abby was discovered in alittle honky tonk bar open mic by Rojo Marlowe, who loved her songs and askedif she wanted to record them.
