Bio / Background
"Rhode Island performer John Abernathy is someone to keep an eye on, with his smooth vocals, appealing style and personal way with a song." -- Cabaret Scenes Magazine
"Mr. Abernathy is an accomplished pianist/singer, and is now developing his own 'out-front' performing. Not only does he have great chops--both vocally and instrumentally, he is handsome, charming, funny, smart and perfectly engaging. I'd like to see him more around town and New England. All this artist needs now is more performance time." -- Cabaret Hotline Online
