“If Norah Jones, Joni Mitchell, and Phoebe Bridgers had a baby,” that baby would be Abigayle Kompst. Hailing from the city of neon lights, showgirls, and gambling machines, the indie-folk singer/songwriter moved to Nashville in 2018. Now a Belmont University Songwriting grad, Abigayle’s songwriting has brought her to numerous stages including ASCAP Writers Night (2022), the Grammy U Songwriter Showcase (2021), Nashville’s famous 3rd and Lindsley, and now the Whitefish Songwriter Festival!Abigayle’s career took its biggest ever step forward in 2022 when she released her debut EP, Vegas. Complete with four singles, “We Found Heaven,” “Vegas,” “Making All This Up,” and “i blame the tv,” Vegas tells a handful of stories about Abigayle’s upbringing in Sin City, how she processes her relationships and adult life through that lens, and her reflections on the beauty and importance of relationships.
Last year, Abigayle reached a personal goal of writing 100 songs in 2022. Some of these songs will be included in her next album coming late 2023. Others can be heard in feature film “Love is Life” directed by Jon Lee.
Abigayle is also a recipient of the Best Classical Guitar Duo in CCSD Award (2017), Student Downbeat Award for Best Jazz Vocals (2018), and the Songs for Social Change Award (2019). When not writing, practicing, or playing a show, you can find her hiking the hills of beautiful Tennessee.
