A multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer, arranger and composer, Abney grew up in Tulsa and now calls Austin home. His music carries the spirit of a modern troubadour, reminiscent of Bob Dylan and Gram Parsons, with a vulnerable voice and thoughtful songwriting that deserve an audience grateful to be in his presence. Oklahoma remains at the heart of Transparent Towns: Abney learned guitar and piano in Tulsa and played bars and DIY spaces throughout the state before years of touring alongside artists including John Moreland, Wild Child, Ben Kweller and S.G. Goodman. He self-produced the album, recording much of it at Cardinal Song outside Oklahoma City with a band made up largely of Oklahoma musicians, with Lydia Loveless and John Moreland adding harmony vocals. Blending alternative-pop melodies, colorful chords and understated soundscapes, Transparent Towns embraces both the heartbreak and joy of moving forward—and reminds us that an ending doesn't necessarily mean it's the end.

As usual, this will be a BYOB and potluck event, so bring your favorite hot dish, mini sandwiches, salad or dessert to share. Enter through the double gate anytime after 6:30 p.m., with music beginning at 7:30 p.m. Advance tickets are required so we can set up the rooms appropriately. Come ready for an intimate evening of music, food and good company with one of Oklahoma's own.
