Limerick pop singer Abe Soare has released her new song, Oasis. We asked Abe the BIG questions . . .
Formerly known as Abby Butler, the 23-year-old is influenced by singer songwriters such as Emma Langford and Wallis Bird and won the Live 95fm Local Hero award 2021 and was shortlisted to one of the 25 acts around the country.
Oasis was written during a difficult time in Abe's life with struggles with depression, identity confusion, and low self-esteem.
