AUBURN —
Sundilla will welcome Abby Posner for the first time on Friday, April 28.
Showtime at the AUUF, located at 450 E. Thach Avenue in Auburn, is 7:30 p.m., and $20 advance tickets can be found at Spicer’s Music, Ross House Coffee and online at sundillamusic.com. Admission at the door will be $25. Free coffee, tea, water and food will be available, and attendees are welcome to bring their own favorite food or beverage.
Posner has been a working musician in Los Angeles for almost 20 years. She is best known for her ability to play nearly any instrument that she can get her hands on, twisting genres and pushing the boundaries of folk, roots and pop music. She can play a mean lead-blues guitar solo and follow it with a complex Earl Scruggs banjo riff. She can also play drums, mandolin or bass while using her looping pedal. In addition to her versatility, she puts passion and soul into everything she does.
You have probably heard her music in TV commercials, films and radio shows all over the globe, and she even appeared in two episodes of GLEE on season four playing banjo and guitar. Posner has also scored the music for multiple films, sang and played banjo as a featured principal role in the ad campaign for the Ken Burns PBS Country Music Documentary.
But what she does best is write songs and perform on stage. In 2020, she won the Carl Gage “Give me Shelter in Place” Songwriting Award through the Topanga Folk Festival for her original song “Blind Spots,” and she was the runner-up for her song “Emergency Use Only” for the 18th annual International Acoustic Music Awards. And like every great performer, everything she does well she does even better in front of an audience, and that audience always loves what she does.
