Rebecca Abbott: As A Matter of Fancy

Known for her clear voice and literary lyrics, Rebecca Abbott was raised in Oregon before bouncing happily through musical theater, Western Europe, and grad school, then settling in Ohio. Along the way, she studied pipe organ, presented American spirituals to German teenagers, and wrote a Christmas musical for 100 preschoolers. Her voice has frequently been compared to Julie Andrews’, and her piano styles range from folk rock to cabaret to Schumannesque. The sacred, the ordinary, and the humorous intertwine in both her original songs and her settings of poems for an experience both thoughtful and entertaining.
