Edward Abbiati

Mark your calendars for October 7th, 2023, as Edward Abbiati, ex-frontman of Lowlands (“one of Europe’s hardest working bands” – Rock’N’Reel R2 Magazine, UK), returns with his 2nd solo album, "To The Light". It is a colourful blend of rock, folk, and punk, that takes listeners on a rollercoaster ride, delivering both raucous energy and quieter introspection.
