About me…

Abigail Wighton is a singer-songwriter from Wollongong, Australia now based in Sydney on Wangal land. She writes and performs honest songs about love, loss and the human experience. Her shows involve soul bearing lyrics, beautiful acoustic guitar playing and witty interludes that surprisingly feel like a chat with your best friend.

Abigail has been paving her way in the folk and country singer-songwriter scene, recently opening for Fanny Lumsden at her Country Halls Sydney show as well as Colin Buchanan at The Beer Shed. Abigail was invited to showcase her original songs at the 2024 National Folk Festival. Abigail released her 2nd EP ‘soon’ in 2024 which was accompanied by an 8 stop tour. ‘soon’ was well received by radio including Beccy Cole from Saturday Night Country on ABC. Abigail graduated from the esteemed Country Music Association of Australia (CMAA) senior academy course in January 2025.

In 2019 she proudly released her debut EP, ‘interwoven’ accompanied by a headline show. After performing and recording as much as she could between lockdowns she released her dual single: ‘Known’ featuring ‘More Than You Know’ and ‘Fully Known’ in 2022.

Abigail regularly plays in Sydney and surrounding regions and has been fortunate enough to grace many stages including Marrickville Music Festival, Stanmore Music Festival, Illawarra Folk Festival, Bundanoon Folk Festival, Tamworth Country Music Festival, Newstead Live.
