Karling's debut country album -- with it's spot on musicianship, and flawless performances -- has already proven that she is a new star of the Americana scene. Critically acclaimed by the press and peers, her debut album earned Karling three  Los Angeles Music Awards: Rockabilly Album Of the Year, Rockabilly Artist Of The Year, and Female Americana Vocalist Of The Year. Her touring schedule has been hectic since the release proving her to be a favorite performer around the West Coast and Europe, regularly sharing the stage with such luminaries as Wanda Jackson, Wayne Hancock, Big Sandy, The Hacienda Bothers, Deke Dickerson, James Intveld, etc. Karling is also in high demand  for Country / Rockabilly and roots style Festivals and fairs.

Karling Abbeygate is an enigma. One might, and understandably so, assume that she hails from Texas or Memphis, since her "twang" is tweaked to perfection. But this is not the case. She's from Norwich, a small town in the English countryside. “Yet how can this be? Her voice drips with the authentic soul of American roots music! The answer is in her childhood. Karling's father, a military man hailing from Coffeyville, Kansas, met her mother while based in Norfolk, England. Both avid old-style country music fans, they fed their daughter a consistent diet of Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, June Carter, Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn, from the day she was born. And we thank them graciously because Karling's soul has been seeped with more feeling and honesty than this writer can easily handle.”

Can Karling Abbeygate sing? Boy, can she ever. Her voice has been likened to Wanda Jackson, Patsy Cline, and many other great female singers of the era. But one can't help suspect this is due to her talent being so beautifully time-warped, rather than any major resemblance to these other artists. This is why Karling is an enigma. It's as if she stepped right out of the 50's, yet there is a flare of modern, an edgy twist,  that makes it all new again, and causes us to relate even more to her heartbreaking, foot stomping music and style.
Karling is the consummate front person--energetic and engaging, magically captivating. She'll leave you breathlessly asking, "When's the next show?"
