Abbie's technical command, impressive ear, and unsurpassed ability to think on her feet, make her a reliable and rewarding musician to work with. What makes her a joy to work with, more than just about any musician I know, is how "game" she is. She's always up for anything, and in everything she adroitly finds her way in and makes herself at home, so that you cannot imagine doing what you're doing without her.

Abbie has been so great to work with. I am absolutely loving learning to play the harp her. She is always kind and constructive with feedback, and her instruction is really clear.

Abbie is passionate about being a music therapist and musician. I am pleased to have her work with my psychotherapy practice. She cares deeply about the goals and outcomes of her clients, and will go the extra distance to assure that her clients are taken of. She offers an array of services from in-person and virtual care. I highly recommend following her website abbiepalmer.com to see all her upcoming events.

I’ve been so lucky to see Abbie play many times due to working with her for three years and she is amazing on many levels! Musically so gifted, a great MC and music director, truly skilled music therapist and a true professional—thoughtful, timely and considerate! Abbie also brings a sense of lightness and wholeheartedness to all of her work as a performer and music therapist. She’s fearless on stage and brings her audience along for the ride! I’m a fan of both Abbie’s music and her character!

Abigail Palmer shines with talent and warmth! I have had the honor of working beside her in her role as a music therapist but have also enjoyed her performances. She has a natural patience and genuineness when working with patients as a music therapist and as a performer her natural talent on the harp touches the soul. Abbie is a musical delight!
