REVIEWS, PREVIEWS and ARTICLES

"In the sensitive singer-songwriters field, a little bit of charm and a knack for melody that goes beyond meditative brooding goes a long, long way. This bodes well for Austin newcomer (by way of New England) Abi Tapia, whose fine Texas debut (and second album to date) balances its quieter moments with a refreshing sparkle reminiscent of Terri Hendrix's Wilory Farm or Shawn Colvin at her most unguarded. Tapia definitely puts her best foot forward with the winsome, breezily catchy opener "Cried Wolf," but there's plenty more hummable tunes -- both sunny and melancholy -- here to keep the rest of the album afloat, too." -Richard Skanse, Texas Music Magazine

"Abi Tapia also just released her sophomore album, One Foot out the Door. The dozen confidently written songs weave tales of a woman assessing life and love with an uncompromising eye and sometimes bittersweet results ("Calamine Lotion," "For a While"). Produced by Chris Gage, One Foot gives Tapia a head start." The Austin Chronicle

"Buy her new album, One Foot out the Door. It's full of sweet-but-confident tunes, sounds kind of like Kathleen Edwards, and gives us the chills from time to time ." The Portland Phoenix

"Tapia has written songs that are solid anthems to what she calls 'loving and leaving.' This must surely be the definitive album on the topic, because Tapia is a master storyteller on the subject. . ." MusicAustin

"Folk singer Abi Tapia may be new to Texas, but she's got the sound of a Hill County Americana local. If I didn't know she recently arrived from Maine, I'd have thought she spent years studying Susan Gibson, Terri Hendrix, and Shelley King. . ." Insite Austin


"Abi Tapia wordt geboren in Alabama, waar zij de muziek door beide ouders met de paplepel krijgt ingegoten. . ." AltCountry.nl

"You see this pert young girl with a somewhat freckled face, her curly hair tamed by putting it in braids, bouncing up and down, and making beautiful eye contact with the audience. . ." The Gonzales Inquirer

 

"Iowa slows things down, and that's always a perfect moment for Tapia to use her pipes to blow the listener away. . ." It Magazine

 

"The police report reads something like this: Stolen--various clothing, backpack, portable CD player, 20 CDs (Lyle Lovett, Shelby Lynne, Allison Moorer, the Dixie Chicks), camera, French pottery, soft guitar case, 50 copies of the new Abi Tapia album, and one notebook (with two years worth of songs in it). The victim-- A singer -songwriter on a six-week, self-booked tour. . ." -The Portland Phoenix, 11/01/01

 

"Wit, power, polish, and a beautiful simplicity. . ." - Face Magazine, 2/01

 

"Abi's greatest strength is her voice--a powerful instrument capable of Ani-worthy bluster and wail as well as Dolly-style folksiness. . ." -Harbor Voices, 7/01

 

"Suprisingly forceful (and suprisingly randy)." -The Other Paper, 4/26/01

 

"A Grinnell alumni of 1998, Abi Tapia was back in Grinnell for a two-set performance in a friend's apartment on Wednesday night. . ." -Scarlet and Black, 9/28/01
