The self-titled EP is produced by Juno Award-winning and
Grammy Award-nominated producer Gavin Brown (Billy Talent, Metric, Three Days
Grace). Barely into their twenties, John and James Abrams have already been
touring for over a decade. The brothers made their mark at many high profile
U.S. bluegrass festivals as teenagers. In 2005, they became the youngest
Canadians to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. In 2008, they released Blue On
Brown, a collection of Bob Dylan and Arlo Guthrie songs, followed in 2011 by
Northern Redemption, their first all-original album, which nonetheless echoed
the work of their classic country heroes such as the Louvin Brothers and Jim
& Jesse. Guthrie, upon seeing The Abrams for the first time, remarked:
"They were young – way too young to be playing that good!"
The Abrams is a departure from their earlier work, spurred
by Brown, who took it as a personal challenge to bring out the best in The
Abrams and introduce them to a broader audience. The resulting EP does indeed
make an indelible first impression, yet is only a taste of what The Abrams and
Brown have created together. Knowing now what they can accomplish in the
studio, and how to translate that to the stage, The Abrams are fully prepared
to take a place alongside Canada’s best-known country music stars.
*Starlight Music Chronicles will be will be hosting a stream
of the new self-titled EP from The Abrams from Friday, May 13th to Thursday,
May 19th, 2016 on our website!
