Abbe May

I think I am in love with Abbe May, and judging by the packed Badlands batcave on a wild and stormy Friday night, I am not alone.

Open Minds Music and Freo Social have managed to create something wonderful here.

The sleepy town of Denmark had the pleasure of Abbe May’s presence on Friday at the Denmark Arts Centre. An intimate yet excited crowd gathered around to watch Abbe’s solo performance, as she enticed them with witty, honest lyrics; soul-bearing vocals; and pared-back acoustic rhythm and blues.

Bringing her Fruit tour back to Perth following her brilliant album launch at the Chevron Gardens as part of the Perth Festival, Abbe May played a fantastic homecoming show at the more intimate Jack Rabbit Slims in Perth’s Northbridge.

Whether it was planned, or a lucky coincidence, some of the best moments on the evening of International Women's Day were provided by a couple of very talented women.

It was a night all about the ladies with a massive, all-female showcase curated by Perth’s local rock legend, Abbe May.
