Gothic Theatre
Mary Beth Abella
It hurts so good! Raw, melodic songwriting that slaps you in the face and leaves you begging for more. Mary Beth Abella has been described by her fans as a female Jeff Buckley. Her music is a mix of dark, intense, brooding, humorous melodic rock, folk and pop. Using intelligent lyrics and unusual chord progressions and key changes Abella creates a mood of a late night haunts and sweat soaked nightmlares.
Abella is Chairperson and Founder of the Colorado Women in Music (CWIM), responsible for the successful Venus Fest series of concerts at The Soiled Dove. Abella has opened for Sheila Nicholls, Juliana Hatfield and Alana Davis. Alex Teitz of FEMMUSIC says, “Mary Beth Abella takes the title singer-songwriter to the edge. Her music pushes the right buttons as a rock star by being intelligent, curt and powerful. Mary Beth Abella is assured and confident and ready to leapfrog to new levels in Colorado and elsewhere.” Elizabeth Nitz of Go Go Magazine says “Mary Beth’s dark, passionate, mellow rock and the arranging talent of both her and her brother and co-producer, John Abella, make What Happened to the Girls? one of the best local albums Colorado has seen this year.”
