"Don’t miss Abi this Friday at Acrisure Arena," a spokesperson for the Acrisure Arena said. "The vocalist from California’s Coachella Valley stole the hearts of American Idol viewers as the 2024 season’s winner."
"Before her breakout moment on American Idol thrust her into a sudden spotlight of larger proportions than she had ever anticipated, Abi was preparing to study Psychology, but her draw to writing and performing music became impossible to ignore. While juggling school, she would play gigs in restaurants, country clubs, birthday parties, or busk on the street, and now she’s more than ready to take things to the next level."
