LORI DIAMOND & FRED ABATELLI FOLK/ADULT CONTEMPORARY/ACOUSTIC SOUL • WORCESTER, MA Photo credit: Nikilette Walker Photography Proud members of the LadyLake family since 2008, LORI DIAMOND & FRED ABATELLI are an acoustic force like no other. Soaring vocals and delicious harmonies abound as Fred deftly weaves thoughtful sounds from his acoustic Martin around Lori's orchestral piano work. These NYC and Boston natives have served as background musicians for a myriad of successful acts in their music careers, and their newest incarnation is a soulful acoustic, contemporary folk duo with jazz and gospel leanings. In recent years, they've accompanied PETER YARROW of PETER PAUL & MARY, JOAN OSBORNE, AMY RAY of the INDIGO GIRLS, JOHN GORKA…and so many more incredible artists. Their lyrics offer compelling themes like living an authentic life; effects of Karma and Soul's reunions.
