Abby Dobson

Abby will perform an intimate show of her original songs spanning her career in Leonardo's Bride, as a lauded solo artist and also her work in the faux-french band, Baby et Lulu.

“Abby Dobson is blessed with one of the most distinctive voices in Australian music — a smoky, intrinsically romantic instrument that she's used to bewitch audiences over the years” - The Age, Melbourne

“A mega-watt powerful voice which conjures melancholy, romance and sex, seemingly out of the ether” - The Independent, England

"This is Dobson's stage, Dobson's show. For the audience, the end of each song is a chance to finally exhale, for in a show as compelling as Dobson's, the moments where breathing comes easily are few and far between. “ - Australian Stage & Screen

“Abby Dobson's curiously arousing sulk sinks into slow-release melodies like a body into a scented bath” - Rolling Stone

"Abby Dobson's remarkable singing, both the sound and the mesmerising style of her delivery, is the key intoxicant, but one with a delayed-action effect - only rarely does she really let rip and belt it out, yet the layers of phrasing and feeling are compacted in her voice to a recurrently spine-tingling depth; imagine some half-candied, half-blistering blend between Marianne Faithfull, Shirley Manson, Edie Brickell and a female Feargal Sharkey.. Dobson has unmistakeable star quality" - The Scotsman.
