Abigail Hobart calling to The Electrodes
Abigail Hobart hails from Bellingham Wa. though she considers parts of New England to be home as well. Abigail has been a dancer, fiddle player and organizer of sorts since childhood and brings a deep love of the tradition, personal warmth and joie de vivre to her calling and interactions both on and off the dance floor. Check out the article in the Sequim Gazette for the story of how she got started — calling contras at a punk rock dance!
