ABRAHAM has reimagined nine gospels and spirituals, transforming them into a rock format. Out now on CD!

**Classic Songs Repackaged? No: Classic Songs Reimagined!** That's what the Vienna-based blues-rock trio ABRAHAM stands for. Songs that everyone knows. Or perhaps recognizes only after closer listening. Andy Abraham, Christian Loebenstein, and Robert 'Bertl' Baumgartner reinterpret, arrange, and stage well-known lyrics completely anew. Covers or originals? Covers, with a unique twist.

Who doesn't know them: 'Go Tell It On The Mountain,' 'Oh Happy Day,' 'House Of The Rising Sun,' 'Rivers Of Babylon,' etc.? ABRAHAM has reimagined nine gospels and spirituals, transforming them into a rock format. The result: *Swing Low, Rock Hard*.

ABRAHAM represents the creative musical vision of bandleader, vocalist, and guitarist Andy Abraham. After years of playing, the idea arose, almost by chance, to not just cover classic songs from various eras but to reinvent them in a cohesive and rocking style.

And it worked brilliantly--the audience was thrilled. What started as a whim turned into ABRAHAM. With drummer Robert 'Bertl' Baumgartner and bassist/vocalist Christian Loebenstein, Andy Abraham found the perfect companions to bring his musical vision to life and reimagine classics. For many years, the trio has been playing together, rocking stages across Austria. With this album, the trio marks a milestone in 2024, capturing and delivering their unique blend of rock and classics with vibrant energy.
