She’s a personable 10-year-old with a demeanor that melts hearts — and that’s even before Renton’s Haben Abraham opens her mouth to sing. Then, jaws drop and audience members are sometimes so moved they dab at tears.
Haben was just 9 last spring when she wowed attendees at the Renton Salvation Army’s annual fundraising dinner with her rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Now Haben, a fifth-grader at Renton’s Highlands Elementary School, is getting ready to play to a national audience.
She’s scheduled on a segment of “The Maury Show” set to air 3 p.m. May 6 on KCPQ-TV.

Footnote from Randy: Some of you might remember that my council colleague Marcie Palmer had a role in getting Haben the Salvation Army Fundraising gig mentioned above. Here is a link to this earlier story Obviously Marcie knows talent when she hears it.
That’s great! We were at the event last spring and vividly remember Haben’s amazing voice. We walked out of the event with Haben and her father and they were both delightful people. It’s so great when good things happen to good people. Congrats Abraham family!
