Dallas Smith Invites Abby for A Quick Tune!
October 20, 2017
Abby Stewart has a great way of being at the right place at the right time. During a lunch many month's ago with her manager Garry McColman, Dallas Smith was in Kingston with his label's group "Petric". Dallas and Abby had met several times before during the Boots and Hearts Music Festival, the CCMA's and other events, so they enjoyed catching up and Abby listened intently as he offered advice on the young teens career. But during that lunch, things between the two took a launch forward. Dallas asked Abby if she'd be up for a duet the next time he rolled into town. Abby was completely taken by surprise but was more than honoured and humbled to accept.
Many months later when Dallas's "Side Effects Tour" was scheduled to arrive at Kingston's K-Rock Centre, the phone call came and true to his word offered Abby that tremendous opportunity. "I was so overcome by excitement, I've always loved Dallas' music and I can't believe he remembered! That was like 7 or 8 months ago!" The young teen commented.
The night had many aspiring artists join Dallas on stage for duets including Sean Astin and Andrew Hyatt. Abby was overwhelmed singing a Dallas favourite of hers, "Nothing But Summer". Check it out on the link below!

Abby Pushing First National Radio Release!
October 10, 2017
It has been over a year since fate stepped in to give two of Canada's youngest rising stars in the Canadian country music scene a leg up. Kingston Ontario's Abby Stewart coupled with Beamer Wigley first met during the CCMA's in London Ontario. The couple immediately made a connection that has lasted over 4,000 kilometres apart for most of this past year. After singing a duet (Jason Aldean's and Kelly Clarkson's "Don't You Want to Stay?") that night, several industry insiders immediately caught their chemistry. Since then the two have done many shows in British Columbia and Ontario including Abby inviting him to join her for some songs at The Havelock Country Jamboree, The Canadian National Exhibition, opening for Aaron Prittchet, Brett Kissel and many others. With famed producer Jeff Dalziel (Washboard Union, Dan Davidson), she recorded last May and shot an accompanying video in downtown Toronto's Revolution Recording Studio. "What If They're Wrong" debuted on Canadian country radio today with rave reviews and complimented video on YouTube. Abby would like to thank Invictus Entertainment and Big Star Recordings for putting their shoulder behind "What If They're Wrong". Look for it on iTunes, Spotify and Google Play October 13.
