Word of South

Abe Partridge

Abe Partridge is a heralded musician, singer/songwriter, visual artist, and podcaster based in Mobile, Alabama. His 2018 debut, Cotton Fields and Blood For Days, earned him rave reviews, with Tony Paris saying in The Bitter Southerner: “He plays guitar the same way he writes lyrics, bashing the strings with abandon until they are just about to come loose, then beautifully picking the notes until every last word falls into place.” Since the release of his debut, Partridge has toured relentlessly, including several tours of the Netherlands and the U.K. When Partridge is not writing or touring, he is also a highly acclaimed visual artist. He’ll be returning to Word of South to appear with the musician, writer and visual artist Jim White.
