"Trying to pick one favorite song is the worst thing about Abby Mott's solo debut, Hearts a'Flutter... given that Mott has a stupid-gorgeous voice and effortless knack for the brain-burrowing hook, she could back herself with croaking frogs and flatulent goats and we'd probably still bop along..."

"Just how alluring is Abby Mott's voice? The beguiling singer/songwriter's gorgeous pipes are so transfixing that you almost forget that they're coming out of the supercute blonde with all that moxie onstage..."

Definitely hoping to sometime soon. I grew up in Baltimore and love it there. Maybe sometime this spring or summer. Glad you like the songs.Your stuff sounds really good by the way. "Snow" is awesome. Great harmonies. I am a sucker for cello and you have a great voice.
Abby, you were in my dream the night before last. you pulled up in a court in Crofton in a roofless jeep with Lynn and her sisters. i don't remember anything else, but it was cool to see you. :) hope all is well.
Ms.Mott and band -- The show at the LoFi last night was super duper, really one of the best things live I've seen in a long while. I passed your info to a fella by the name of Pete over at that coffee shop in Hampden I mentioned. If you haven't heard from him in the real near future, please stop by "El Rancho Grande" on Falls Road and let him know to get on it. It's not the world-famous Knitting Factory, but we'd be mighty pleased to have you. -J
why thank you! hope you get to catch a show soon too! we are scheduling out tour for the spring now so do let me know if you have any suggestions! cheers, JL
