Port Ludlow’s Performing Arts’ Season Opener – Abby Posner and The Big Fall
Join us at the Bay Club on Saturday, September 26, at 7 p.m. for Port Ludlow’s Performing Arts’ concert with Abby Posner and The Big Fall.
Some performers pick an instrument but Abby Posner picked most of them. Posner fell for music growing up in Colorado, then sharpened that instinct at the California Institute of the Arts. What began as a passion has become a two-decade career as a touring performer and an award-winning writer, with credits that reach past the concert stage. She has composed music for television and appeared on multiple shows. When Ken Burns' landmark Country Music documentary needed a promotional film, Posner — a genuine multi-instrumentalist — set everything else down and let the banjo do the talking.
Posner’s three CDs feature her own original songs that are deeply rooted in Americana. Never content to stay in one lane is what makes her live show with The Big Fall worth the ticket. The set glides from modern folk into powerhouse blues and then into fiery rock with a few surprises along the way. It’s the kind of show that starts with an audience politely listening and ends with a room full of fans — which is what happens wherever she plays.
Posner's writing carries the same range as her playing. The songs are lived-in and specific, the arrangements muscular without ever burying the lyric, and the band knows exactly when to lean in and when to get out of the way. It’s a rare blend of a conservatory-trained player with the chops to go anywhere, paired with a songwriter's discipline to go where the song needs her.
