Abi Tapia tonight

7 p.m. - Jim Motavalli Abi Tapia, a country-oriented singer-songwriter will be heard in a taped conversation with Jim Motavalli, talking and singing a few tunes. Tapia's 2005 release, One Foot Out The Door, is a driving collection of songs about loving and leaving that is garnering rave reviews and comparisons to Austin's best songwriters. The creation of this music was like a year-long road trip with Abi (vocals, guitar and harmonica) driving and Chris Gage (producer, engineer, guitars, keys and vocals) sitting shotgun with the maps. They picked up a few hitchhikers along the way including musicians who have contributed to albums from the Dixie Chicks, Eliza Gilkyson, The Greencards and countless others. With song titles like "Somewhere to Go" and "Nothing to Hold Me Down", you can bet that this disc will take Abi Tapia to lots more cities and car stereos, and lot more people will be asking questions that can be answered with the word "Wanderlusty."
