Abe Partridge

Another highlight of the 30A Songwriters Festival was that I got to meet one of my songwriting heros. Thanks to my good friend and famous photographer Rick Diamond and my manager and producer of the festival Russell Carter, I got to go back stage and meet none other than the man himself, JOHN PRINE!

The 30A Songwriter Festival was amazing to say the least, but one of the highlights was meeting Mike Wolfe of History Channel's " American Pickers". We hung out at Monet Monet, the gallery hosting my art, Thursday, during the songwriters VIP party. He was so kind and inspiring. We had the best conversations. He purchased 4 of my original paintings that night and came to my showcases on Saturday and Sunday.Photo By: Michelle Roche

"Partridge's raw, emotional attack and stirringly honest lyricism balanced between the deeply, heart-achingly personal and the political. Partridge was one of the most compelling artists I stumbled upon."
