Abby Altman

Club Manager

Abby started working at Passim shortly after moving to the Boston area in 2013.  She started in the box office of the club and soon became a performance manager.  As the manager for Club Passim, she now supervises and trains the club staff, manages and engineers many shows in the club, coordinates the campfire. and Down Home Up Here festivals, and is an extra pair of hands wherever they’re needed.  She also administers many of Passim’s grant programs, including the Iguana Music Fund, Gecko Fund, and Passim Emergency Artist Relief (PEAR) Fund.

Abby studied English Literature at Saint Mary’s College and German Language at the University of Notre Dame, which included one year at the University of Innsbruck, Austria.  With no formal sound education, she learned audio engineering totally on the job.  She has played violin for several years, though she much prefers being at the sound board to being on the stage.  As far as she knows, she’s the second person ever to have a Passim tattoo and the first to have two.
