Abbie Sawyer is a singer-songwriter who captivates live audiences with her stirring lyrics and soulful voice.
Her 2025 LP, Persimmon—called “a tall glass of hope” by dsm Magazine—was recorded over four seasons in her Iowa home as an exploration of the human experience, the creative process and blind faith. The 12-song collection witnesses the bravery it takes to love in the dance of being alive.
Her debut solo album, Love Is a Flood (2022), illuminates her experiences of motherhood and the pandemic, including postpartum anxiety and depression, joy and healing. This album and Abbie’s experience was featured on Iowa Public Radio and National Public Radio.
Abbie performs and records as a solo artist, as well as with Diplomats of Solid Sound, NOLA Jazz Band, The Night Lights, and Abbie & the Sawyers, with a sonic range from retro soul to New Orleans jazz, Americana and women-led Folk.
Abbie has shared billings with The Righteous Babes, Rufus Wainwright, Leyla McCalla, Lake Street Dive, The New Mastersounds, and Fitz & the Tantrums. She has toured internationally and her projects have over 40 million streams on Spotify.
Abbie is also the founder and owner of Mama Bare Botanicals, a line of natural skin and soul care products made with love to inspire your inner glow.
