SHORT BIO OPTIONS

Bostonian Lori Diamond and New Yorker Fred Abatelli, have been creating and performing music together in New England since their "destined" meeting on Myspace in 2007. Lori, an award winning songwriter (finalist, Great American Songwriting Contest 2010, Best Female Vocalist, Pulse Magazine 2011 & 2012), combines alluring, soulful vocals and seasoned piano playing that are a perfect match for Fred's solid finger work and clever phrasing on both bass and guitar. Fans of Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan and Joni Mitchell, quickly become fans of Lori & Fred as they explore Jazz, Acoustic, Folk, Pop, Gospel and Blues influences and gently infuse them in a flavorful Adult Contemporary style that's all their own.

​

​

Emote, Create, Inspire, Connect, Expand, Soothe, Uplift.... These intentions are the basis of their music. Lori Diamond & Fred Abatelli skillfully combine thoughtful, provocative lyrics with soulful vocals and seasoned musicianship. They playfully refer to their original style as "a gentle but passionate exploration of Folk, Soul, Blues, Jazz and Pop". If you appreciate meaningful music with eloquence, substance and style then look no further.
