About this Event

Our final Off the Rails for 2021 goes mental, philosophical, experimental and into the imaginary.

WHO: A.B.Y.S.S , musician, poet, educator and emcee

WHAT: Our guest A.B.Y.S.S. - A Bright Young Soul Searching - has spent over 22-years as an award winning musician/educator/emcee. He's performed in spaces from The Jimmy Carter Library and Museum, to the SCLC Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at The National Archives w/Lin Manuel Miranda to HBO's iconic Def Poetry Jam.

This casual conversation, led by Chemistry's Lauren Highsmith, will cover his life, insane career, passions and perspective on creativity. Abyss is the epitome of a multi-hyphenate who’s built a life and career by leaning into change, adapting to circumstances, pushing harder and taking some massive chances. He’s constantly growing, evolving, adding and editing to be who he is and to inspire those around him with his incredible talents.

Abyss is currently fulfilling a residency with Sofar Sounds and will perform following his interview, kicking-off the live music portion of the evening.
