"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..."

here is a quick list of my favorite things: cookies, cornbread, bbq, sushi, avacados, beer, squeezes, jeezes, craftiness... that pretty much does it.
LIVE BAND includes jay, johnny, jason, and kathy.
other projects include the commuters (rroockk), the real geniuses (80's covers abound), the rock creek whistlers (good old time string band in dc!), the baltimore afrobeat society (daaancceee!!) and others.
I had hoped to procrastinate from my to do list by nerdily adding songs to my MySpace profile. The next on my list was to be "She Don't Play Nice" but, alas, I find it unavailable. Thus, my collection incomplete, I am forced to return to mundane tasks.
I will accept a near-future Philadelphia performance as proper reimbursement.
thank you. i'd love to come see you play tonight but alas, i have no money so i must work. i'm going to try my damnedest to make it to the afro beat thing, i went like two years back and it blew my mind. cheers!
