In May ,2008 Abe opened for the Blackwood Brothers in Abottsford, B.C. The Blackwood Brothers hail from Memphis, TN. This was an unprecedented opportunity for Abe and his opening act was loved by the crowds that attended the concerts. Several folks attending the concerts remarked they enjoyed having a country artist open for the quartet. They obviously enjoyed the diversity between Country and Southern Gospel, at the same time most will agree that Country and Southern are very similar in style.
