A native of South Mississippi, Abbye West Pates is a singer-songwriter who has called Memphis, Tennessee her home for over a decade. She loves people and songs so it only makes sense that she'd feel most at home at a house concert or dark listening room somewhere, close enough for a conversation with the listeners. She's a little folk, a little country, and loves a good story. You're invited to listen in as we talk with Abbye about songwriting, faith, and what motivates her to keep creating.

Her newest songs, To Be Well and Better With Time, are now available! Listen on her website, on Spotify, and everywhere you stream music.
