When it comes to long distance train trips, few people expect live entertainment on board. While this is the case, Gigi Love is considered a Rails and Trails Troubadour participating in a joint program between the National Park Service or NPS and Amtrak. For, the young singer songwriter often sings songs on-board different Amtrak routes.
Gigi's observation and experience in the parks is what gives the artist's songs a special meaning and message. For, it is during visits to the park in which Gigi pulls most inspiration for different songs. In fact, some of these songs now grace an album titled National Parks Centennial Songs.
The singer-songwriter once again visited a number of parks and wrote songs while on four different Amtrak excursions in the Summer and Fall of 2017. While visiting the parks, the artist once again wrote new material. Although, unlike past journeys, the singer-songwriter also performed at the National Parks as well as aboard different train routes across the country.
The artist writes lyrics which are often bluesy honest songs that tell stories of the singer-song writer's experiences, dreams, travels and vision quests. In most cases, the lyrics capture the attention of audiences which take most of those in attendance on a musical journey. Gigi, having started singing at the early age of 7, then performing at Texas venues by age 12, definitely has the know-how and experience to do so.
If Love's name sounds familiar, it could be from a performance at the closing of the Winter Olympics which was televised, or when opening for Dave Matthews at an Amphitheater at the Columbia River Gorge. After which, Freedom Zone, the same company which promotes Mountain Dew picked up Love who then toured Texas and areas west of the Mississippi. Following the tour, Gigi could often be heard on airways of local college and community based radio stations around the country.
In 2016, the singer-songwriter debuted work at the New England Regional Folk Alliance at the Suzi Wollenberg Folk DJ Showcase. In addition to the Olympics and opening for David Matthews Band, Love has also toured with Duncan Phillips, Kate McLeod and Utah Phillips' son. In fact, a rendition of Utah's song, Going Away is now available on Pandora Radio. Whereas, in 2011, a release on the Waterbug Label received a great deal of radio airplay on different folk oriented programs and stations.
Gigi has also graced the stage of a number of national folk festivals. The festivals at which Love has performed include Kate Wolf, Moab, Nedfest, Arise and Desert Rocks. Whereas, more recently, the singer songwriter has opened for the likes of Tim Reynolds, John Gorka and Christine Lavin.
Love's ultimate mission is to preserve the valuable resources found inside the National parks and the National Park system. For, while the singer-songwriter loves to write and perform, the ultimate goal is to protect the parks.
