About Abbie Sawyer

Abbie Sawyer is a Midwest singer-songwriter who uncovers meaning and beauty with her heartfelt lyrics, “unforgettable voice” (Little Village Magazine), and “stunningly intimate” sound (dsm Magazine).

Recent Solo Work

Her latest album, PERSIMMON, witnesses the bravery it takes to love and to gentle our hearts in the dance of being alive. Recorded over four seasons in her Iowa home, PERSIMMON is an exploration of the human experience, the creative process and blind faith.

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.

Warmth and Wonder

As a life-long performer and musician, Abbie captivates live audiences with a deeply-felt, intimate style using her acoustic guitar, voice, and original music, bringing warmth and wonder to her performances.

She performs with four Iowa bands in addition to her solo work, 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.

Botanical Maker

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.
