When Abigail Rose received her first guitar for her eleventh birthday, she was hooked on writing and performing music. “It came very naturally to me,” the Nashville native says. “I always loved to talk and to entertain and make people laugh. It grew into the dream I wanted my whole life.” Since then, she has taken the music industry head-on by connecting with other songwriters, perfecting her musical and vocal skills, and performing at events around the country, including the Panama City Beach Seafood and Music Festival in 2012 and 2013. It was at the 2012 event that Resort Collection team members and local friends became enamored with Abigail Rose’s sweet voice and fun-loving stage presence. She has also played during the nearby 30A Songwriters Festival and at Farm Fest in North Carolina, the Georgia Throwdown, and the CMA Music Festival. This seventeen-year-old songbird is working with some of Nashville’s best producers and songwriters to advance her career, and she continues to rise within the country music world. Resort Collection is proud to have worked with her on its new official song, “Goin’ to the Beach!” “Being a songwriter, you have to be observant,” Abigail says. “I’m inspired by all kinds of things for my music: relationships, love, my friends, my family and their stories, and just life in general.”
Abigail got together with two of her fellow writers in Nashville, Daniel Crane and Robert Counts, to create the new “Goin’ to the Beach!” song. “They’re both great songwriters and Daniel grew up near the beach, so I thought it would be fun to get that perspective,” Abigail explains. “When we were writing this song, it definitely made me want to go to the beach, especially since it was only sixteen degrees in Nashville the day we wrote it! Hopefully it will do that for others, too.” Her favorite part of writing and performing, Abigail confides, is inspiring other people with her music the way she has been inspired by artists such as Jack Johnson, Sheryl Crow, and Grace Potter. “I just want to make people smile and enjoy good music,” she says. “When you have a person tell you that a song meant something to them, it’s the best feeling in the world.”
