ABBO

ABBO is an Italian singer-songwriter associated with folk, acoustic music and rock. His songs combine blues-inflected folk guitar with a vocal style described in the available material as recalling Mick Jagger and Van Morrison. His writing covers his own view of life and the world around him, and his performances range from guitar-and-cello duets to more forceful rock-based songs.

He grows out of a background of Cornish imagery in the material supplied, with a childhood spent around the beaches and sea of Cornwall. He is described as the youngest of four siblings, and that sense of having to fight to be heard is presented as part of his artistic character. The same material places his work alongside artists such as Bruce Springsteen, Ryan Adams, The Rolling Stones and The Counting Crows in terms of style and setting.
