In 2021 he was Grand Prize Winner in the International Acoustic Music Awards and the 2019 the winner in the Bob Dylan Song Contest. He has a number of albums to his credit, the first one called “Solo” released in 1975. His latest album is called Normal Isn’t Normal Anymore. We will hear several songs from the record. The Wall Street Journal: “Impressive guitar-picking is an attraction in itself, and Mr Abernethy proves an adept, vocal interpreter with his takes on John Mayer’s ‘Changing’ and Bob Dylan’s ‘Oxford Town’. The title song was apparently written just before the pandemic hit, but certainly applies today…it could be an anthem.”
