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!

Hometown Country Celebration - The Abrams, Abby Stewart and Ambush
The City of Kingston and Country 93.5 are pleased to announce the Hometown Country Celebration. As part of the Skeleton Park Arts Festival, this concert will feature the amazing talent of The Abrams, Abby Stewart and Ambush.
John and James, The Abrams, are the fourth generation of professional musicians in their family. Barely into their twenties, they have been touring for over a decade. The Abrams come from a strong tradition of Bluegrass and Americana music, and have since created a signature sound that brings Country, Rock and Pop all together in one place. The Abrams, recently signed with Radio Arts Media Partners Music, are currently working on their fifth studio album with Juno award winning and Grammy nominated producer Gavin Brown, who helped launch the careers of Three Days Grace, and Billy Talent, and has produced records for Lady Gaga, The Barenaked Ladies, The Tragically Hip, and Metric.
Abby Stewart may be young, but she has accomplished so much in such a short period. From sharing the stage for a duet with Dean Brody, opening for Hunter Hayes on his Canadian tour or completing a set at some of Canada's biggest music festivals, her star is on the rise. Her versatility and passion for music shines through whether she's belting out one of her radio friendly originals, a Taylor Swift or Band Perry lyric or turns back the clock to a Dolly Parton, Anne Murray or Buck Owens classic.
Ambush, "Canada's Rockin' Country Band", has been delivering its own brand of high-octane country music since 1993. The trio of Mark McDonell, Kris Lafontaine, and Tom VanCoughnett are a dynamic group of performers who share an unprecedented combination of talent, experience, and contagious enthusiasm. Ambush has been recognized by the Canadian music industry with multiple nominations for Canadian Country Music Association awards, including the Independent Group or Duo of the Year (2006 & 2007) and Group or Duo of the Year (2007).
