Female fronted country/rock band. Here's is what has been said about Abigail Henderson - lead singer/songwriter/guitarst of the Gaslights.
Kansas City Star

ABIGAIL HENDERSON
Musician and activist
Age: 27
Abigail Henderson plays music and does politics.
The Gaslights, the four-piece band for which she provides lead vocals, has just issued a new CD, “Midwest Hotel,” which showcases some tasty guitar work and Henderson's belting voice. She describes the sound as “whiskey-drenched twang and roll.”
Henderson, a native of New York, has made Kansas City home since 1995. Earlier this year she helped found Beauty Slays the Beast, a nonprofit group focused on political consciousness-raising and getting young people to vote.
She sizes up Kansas City this way:
“ What's kind of amazing is all the stuff that's coming out of here. You look at the news, and it's always: ‘The Midwest, the stronghold of conservatism.' No-o-o. That's not the people I know. There's great stuff going on in this town. I just don't think Kansas City has become aware of it.”
Henderson takes her politics as seriously as her music.
" I'm just a loudmouth,” she says. “That's all.”

The band is in the process of setting up a sping/summer tour, so watch for them to come through your town. Any booking leads would be great! Thanks.
