Abby Hubbard

Abby Hubbard writes songs for musical vegetarians, who crave philosophical heft grounded in plant-based metaphors. She is a Minnesotan stepped in science, poetry, and the cold waters of Lake Superior. Through a combination of obsessively thoughtful lyricism and indie-folk arrangements, her songs walk with the listener through the light-laced forest of life’s contradictions.

Her debut record, <a href="spotify:album:34r5raFw12UVlkhUctmAxy" data-name="Between the Trees">Between the Trees</a>, is an album about trees, for people. Rooted in the scientific, cultural, and personal significance of trees, it explores existential themes like mortality, growth, and renewal. From the light bluegrass arrangements of “<a href="spotify:track:6TptNjRQrDKypD37d0kaKL" data-name="Chestnut">Chestnut</a> ” to the ominous electronic production of “<a href="spotify:track:2NAd8Dn2X0ezpDChxPYxT1" data-name="Cypress">Cypress</a>” each track is connected to the last through her skillful, uncompromising lyricism. Perhaps, listeners will give up the elusive light at the end of the tunnel, and find something deeper and more worthwhile between the trees.
