- Here we come Chicago! My cellist Dave and I will be playing a full set at Uncommon Ground on W. Devon in Edgewater @ 8pm. Reserve a table if you're feeling funky. We know we are. Come on down and have some fun with us :)
- I will let this feeling of judgment subside- I will see what the afterward feels like. I will visit and revisit, with emotion, then with logic, then with both. I will take myself for a walk and forget about you, and this, and lose myself in the trees. I will come back and see what the afterward feels like. I cannot live in the moment all the time. Sometimes I have to leave the moment, or leave my body, or leave my mind, to get anywhere. Leaving is movement. Maybe you can catch up to me later, maybe you are moving also.
- Some of my musings are too extensive for Facebook, so I tumble things now. here’s the story behind "Fragile".
- I grew up overhearing NPR from the kitchen radio, and while folding laundry with my mother on her bed. How incredible to move from that space into the actual studio of Michigan Radio! It was an honor to be featured on a station I have listened to for so long.
- This song was originally titled “F*** You B****es.” I DO get angry. You just might not know it. "You can't tell me what to do I'll get to where I'm going with or without you"
- It's that time again....CD RELEASE DAY! I put more effort into this show than any other night of the year. It's going to be a fun night. The opener The Accidentals are INCREDIBLE, Chris Dupont and Katie Lee are both performing with me, as well as my incredible band: Dave Haughey and Michael Gould. If you're trying to decide whether to come see me perform at The Ark - Ann Arbor tonight, or some other occasion, you should definitely pick tonight. Tonight wins. Tonight will be epic.
- Woah guys! I'm on the next level! I'll be on NPR Stateside Radio today at 3pm (and again at 10pm) talking about my new album and tomorrow's release show.
- The ukulele is delightfully travel sized. Many of the songs on “Where I’m going” are on ukulele because many of them were written in other countries. “Ready” was written in Mexico in March 2014, at the same time that I decided I was ready to release a new album. While driving back from Mayan ruins (feeling so effing inspired), I said to my travel companion : “What if I did an album when we get back? A ukulele, cello, drums kind of album?” And with that, the album began.
- Hear that sick bass riff at the beginning of the song? It’s actually a cello. There is no bass in the entire album, and probably not any real whales either.
- RADIO! Tune in to ann arbor's 107one tonight just after 6:00p eastern to catch me on Tree Town Sound! Debuting songs from the new album, both live and recorded. You can also listen online @ annarbors107one.com :)
- Last January when I wrote "Better Off Alone," my heart was feeling much colder than it is today. Grateful that it's just my hands that are cold this January- heart is warm. <3 "I used to feel complete until you shared your warmth, but only gave me SOME protection from the cold. I'm better off balanced, if exposed, at least I know where I stand; at least I know, when I'm alone."
- Happy New Year! Happy new ALBUM!! While the physical CD release isn't until January 8th, this is the FUTURE! We have a digital release for you right now. Woop woop! You can purchase the digital album for $8.00, or pre-order the physical album for $15.00 and get the digital tracks now while we ship you the physical album. More info on my Bandcamp page: http://music.abigailstauffer.com/album/where-im-going
- Hey, if I didn't mention it yet- I've just finished my 3rd album! "Where I'm Going" will be released on January 8th, with a release show at the Ark in Ann Arbor. Sneak peaks and pre-orders forthcoming. xoxo
- I'm playing SAUSAGE FEST! Lol. Life is grand. Come on out tomorrow night if you're in Northern MI! https://www.facebook.com/events/539338986209855/
- Wrapping up all the final details for the new album "Where I'm Going." I'm excited to share the Uke-Cello-Drums feel with y'all. :)
- "I want to be alright if I'm alone when day is done and there's no comfort from the sunlight." -a song from my upcoming album that makes a lot of sense right now.
- Playing MASH in Ann Arbor tonight at 9:00 pm, then heading to Traverse City on Thursday and Friday to sing some more!
- "You cannot separate the guilty and unblamed... They are the same; We are the same." In light of recent events, I am pre-releasing a song from my new album. "The Condemned and the Innocent" is a song based on text from Kahlil Gibran's "The Prophet." FREE download, optional donation - any amount you pay goes to the United Way fund to serve Ferguson: www2.stl.unitedway.org/ferguson http://music.abigailstauffer.com/track/the-condemned-and-the-innocent
- #Dearferguson, we stand with you. #blacklivesmatter
- It is SUCH a good feeling to listen to my own songs and get goosebumps. The mixes to this new album are sounding incredible. I can't wait to share them. Mad props to Backseat Studios and Christopher Norman for the mixing.
- Darlings: you have told me a hundred times, but I have forgotten. What musicians/singers do you think that I sound like? (need it for promotion things.) Thanks!
- Unearthing wool things, and boot things, and glove-hat-scarf, layer-to-be-happy-and-warm things. Playing offensive with the cold this time.
- "Come new to this day. Remove the rigid overcoat of experience, the notion of knowing, the beliefs that cloud your vision. Leave behind the stories of your life. Spit out the sour taste of unmet expectation. Let the stale scent of what-ifs waft back into the swamp of your useless fears. Arrive curious, without the armor of certainty, the plans and planned results of the life you've imagined. Live the life that chooses you, new every breath, every blink of your astonished eyes. " -Rebecca Del Rio
- OMG check out this amazingness! And WHATEVER you're voting for, GO VOTE on Nov 4! #turnoutforwhat
- Ducks won't get in a row. I think I have too many ducks.
- Hey hey! Playing at Wolverine State Brewing Co. tomorrow at 8:30! West Ann Arbor is what's up!!
- Traverse City!! If you're around here, come out to BREW tonight, from 8-10, and/or Northern Natural on Tuesday from 7-9!!
- Harvest Gathering is the weekend! Best lineup OF ALL TIME on Friday night: the olllam, Vulfpeck, Theo Katzman. But I can't be there til Saturday!! #letgoitwasjustadisappointment
- Him: "You're kind of intimidating." Me: "I've heard that before. Why is it?" Him: "Because you are a majestic woman." YES. #ihavearrived
- Bicycle trips are a spinning meditation, a living video game, and one of the best ways I've discovered to get to know myself. #rideforth
- Whoa dudes! 2,999 likes? Who's it gonna be to break 3,000? What shall I give you? A free download of my new album when it's finished?
- Playing at Corner Brewery tomorrow from 7-10. Come out, Ypsi!
- This #albuminprogress is rife with the theme of "alone." Not surprising, I suppose, that it's the biggest illusion I am wrestling with these days. Loneliness has always been a struggle for me, regardless of how many loved ones I am surrounded by. May my singing and yearning for peace bring comfort to others, and to my own heart as well.
- Summers used to be an easy season. Takes a lot of seeking to find peace these days.
- Come out to Manchester, MI tomorrow at 2:00! I'm playing at the gazebo with my ukulele-cello-drum trio!! WOHOO!
- "You cannot separate the good from the wicked. You cannot separate the guilty and unblamed. You cannot separate the condemned from the innocent; They are the same. We are the same." Song inspired by Kahlil Gibran, coming soon.
- Spent all day working hard on music booking and album prep. ON THE LAKE. #whistlewhileyouwork
- "Love is never lost. If not reciprocated, it will flow back and soften and purify the heart." -Washington Irving Finishing recording a song on this theme today: "If love's a victory, I wear it like defeat. Someone teach me love won't leave me; If I want, it's mine to keep." #Newalbumthisfall
- Don't be afraid to ask for what you want; You're allowed to ask for whatever you need.
- "This youthful heart can love you and give you what you need, but I'm too old to go chasing you around, wasting my precious energy." Tracy Chapman, speakin' my heart for me.
- Blissfest was amazing! Got back late last night- already looking forward to next year. <3
- Things I am grateful for: that I can drink beer while I work. #booking #jollypumpkin
- Plotting, scheming, creating delightful things for you. I feel like I am wrapping up a present, and I'm really excited for you to open it. #givemusic
- Two things can transform a person: great suffering, and great love. #talktuesday @kickdetroit I'm inspired every time I leave here.
- Practicing music on a porch in the summer: worthwhile, even after allll the mosquito bites.
- "More black men are in prison today than enslaved in 1850." (2011) Leaving #talktuesday @KICKDetroit SO motivated to break the cycle.
- Just talked to A2SF about the rain- I'll be playing tonight 6:00, rain's supposed to hold off! Come out!
- Come out to top of the park (a2sf) tonight!! 6:00 :) If it gets cancelled, I'll post here!
- The guilty is often the victim of the injured, and more often the condemned is the burden bearer for the guiltless and unblamed. - K Gibran
- Learning about gentrification. Sitting on neighbors porches. Songwriting riverside. Thanking God I have a voice; Finding out what it's for.
