About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

As a harpist, Abbie has managed to span an incredibly wide range of genres in her collaborations, performances, and recordings. While specializing in original, Celtic, and Classical music, Abbie also has experience performing and recording rock and pop, spiritual and religious, World, jazz, hip hop, new age, and Renaissance, to name a few! Abbie claims Celtic music to be her roots and foundation, having been the first genre she was exposed to. Abbie has travelled to Edinburgh Scotland to compete on Celtic harp, as well as has been an instructor at a Scottish music conference. Abbie performed at the Maryland Renaissance Festival starting at childhood and held a regular standing performer position for 20 years. She currently has the pleasure of working with some of Celtic musics’ finest performing artists in collaborative projects and groups that span the east coast. Abbie went on to focus on Classical music in college and received a dual degree in Classical harp performance, gaining skills and knowledge as an orchestral harpist. Upon completion of her degree, Abbie received an award of recognition for excelled accomplishment in her harp studies. Abbie held the role of first chair with the National String Symphonia for 7 years and had the honor of performing Debussys' Danses Sacree et Profane, a harp featured piece, on a main stage at the Kennedy Center. She now regularly performs with Classical ensembles and orchestras in Washington DC and surrounding areas. Abbie began writing original music as far back as childhood, but more formally starting in college. In 2012 Abbie ventured to create an album of all original songs and compositions which led to Abbie’s career as a singer-songwriter with the electric harp. Since then, she’s composed and recorded three full length albums as well as taken her original music on tour to the West Coast (2018) and South East region (2016).

Review by Sydney C.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on October 30, 2023From Washington, DC

We were very fortunate to work with Abbie in two scenarios for our National Inventors Hall of Fame Induction week of celebrations in DC. Wednesday night at The Wharf, Abbie and a friend on drums, played contemporary music in a more relaxed setting. All guests were impressed with her range of selections and talent. On Thursday, at our more formal gala, Abbie was our musician of choice again, playing harp at our VIP reception. Again, all attendees were impressed by her style and sophistication. Abbie was a dream to work with prior to the events, arrived early and is very professional. I highly recommend, without hesitation, Abbie for any of your musician needs.

Abbie Palmer:

Thank you so much for your kind words and review! It was also a pleasure to work with you to prepare for these performances for your events, and a pleasure to contribute to the Inventors Hall of Fame events in DC :)

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on July 24, 2023From Catonsville, MD

I was so happy with the experience with Abbie. It was sooo hot out there - heat index 97! Her talent is so palpable and made the best addition to my wedding day. Her song selection was also awesome. It was everything I wanted and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 16, 2023From Vienna, VA

Abbie was amazing and on time. She had all her music ready to go per the bride and groom request. Although the bride and groom were running late, she did not get upset and worked with us. I will 100% work with Abbie again. The guest loved her. Thank you Abbie and I look forward to working with you again.
