The music of Abigail Lapell has beauty, optimism, texture, subtlety, power and gently humming overtones of transcendence. As soon as you hear her songs you will love her music.
“Down By The Water,” (above) a lovely work of hopeful springtime chamber folk, evokes the fantasy of escaping to somewhere isolated and hiding from the world in hopes of rediscovering your voice and deepening your connection to the world.

This is the first single off of Abigail Lapell’s new album, Gateway, which will be out February 1 on Coax Records.
This song features Dana Sipos on vocals. “Dana’s a fantastic singer-songwriter who I first met while planning a bicycle music tour,” says Lapell, “we’ve toured and sung together often since then, and people have even told us we sound like sisters. For this song, we recorded live off-the-floor in a room together – no headphones, no isolation, just a guitar and our two voices.”
