Formed in 2024, Awaiting Abigail is a Dallas-based hard rock/metal band blending heavy riffs, soaring vocals, and dynamic arrangements. The band’s sound is driven by a two-guitar attack, atmospheric keys, and a pounding rhythm section, fronted by the charismatic and soulful vocalist Abigail Hill.
Band Lineup:
Abigail Hill – Vocals, James Smith – Guitar, Mike Tolfa – Guitar, Kori Tolfa – Keys, Laurie Barnett (Larbs) – Bass, Heather Hammonds – Drums
The group emerged from the reunion of high school classmates Heather, Laurie, and James, whose chemistry was rekindled after decades apart. With the addition of father-daughter duo Mike and Kori Tolfa and the discovery of Abigail Hill, the band created a unique soundscape brimming with passion, energy, and authenticity.
The band recently made their debut performance at Trees in Dallas, TX , during the UnSilent Night: Women in Metal Showcase. Stay tuned for announcements of upcoming shows in 2025!
