THE ABRAMS
Canadian Country Duo
Hailing from Kingston, Ontario, brothers John and James became the youngest Canadians to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in 2005. They made their mark at many high profile U.S. bluegrass festivals and toured across multiple continents while still in their teens and 20s. The Abrams are fourth generation songwriters and recording artists instilled with the ability to tell stories that speak to the hearts of their fans. Their newest EP, Reminder, is both deeply personal and widely relatable. Arlo Guthrie, upon seeing The Abrams for the first time, remarked, “They’re way too young to be playing that good!”
