His music has been featured on Spotify and Apple Music, and reviewed by major outlets like Wide Open Country.

He has also performed at the Grand Ole Opry, headlined legendary Los Angeles venues including the Troubadour, Whisky a Go Go, and the Viper Room, and played to large audiences at 4th Street Live in Louisville, Kentucky. 91.9 WFPK praised his work as “an expansive, stadium-ready rock sound,” capturing the energy and emotion that define the Ian Abel Band.
