Var Gallery Presents: Abigayle Oakley & Fairhazel

About this event

From Las Vegas to Nashvegas, Abigayle Oakley blends the melodic richness of folk pioneers with the lyrical honesty of today’s confessional singersongwriters. Her songs explore the complexities of life and the existential questions that shape us, often with a sharp, tongue-in-cheek wit that adds layers of humor and insight. Abigayle made her national television debut on this season of NBC's The Voice earning an allchair turn from coaches John Legend, Adam Levine, and Kelly Clarkson. She is also a recent winner of the Kerrville New Folk Competition and has played hundreds of shows in the US and Canada opening for acts such as The War and Treaty, Jed and The Valentine, Forest Blakk and more. When not writing, practicing, or performing, you can find Abigayle hiking the beautiful hills of Tennessee.
