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 30 Under 30 November 11, 2004 By Robert Trussell 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.” You can check out The Gaslights at www.thegaslights.comThe 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. Jen MainStreetSounds www.mainstreetsounds.com
