Abigail Washburn is an American clawhammer banjo player and singer-songwriter whose music weaves together Appalachian folk traditions with Chinese musical influences, reflecting her deep ties to both cultures. Her acclaimed debut Song of the Traveling Daughter introduced her distinctive voice to the world, and her collaborative work on Abigail Washburn & The Sparrow Quartet — featuring Béla Fleck — showcases her gift for inventive, genre-bending acoustic storytelling. A true original in the American roots music scene, Washburn brings warmth, curiosity, and remarkable artistry to everything she records.
