When it comes to musicians, there are those that only play for fun, and others who are extremely dedicated to the genre. One of these individuals is Gigi Love, a woman who is currently working on a project at National parks around the United States. As part of the project, Ms. Love will be visiting a number of parks in Western states, then writing songs about the community, beauty and nature during each stay.
The work in this area is all about the singer's passion for the National parks while currently attempting to host a performance at each one. One of the first songs created by this artist is that of Yosemite Gold, a song about visiting Yosemite National Park near Sacramento, California. Whereas, Sequoia and others are also on the list.
Upon purchasing a previously used mandolin from a fellow artist, Ms. Love wondered into a meadow and wrote a beautiful song about the iconic beauty of the park. During this time, Gigi started thinking about how cool it would be to write a song based on each park. Then, the park visits and songwriting began taking precedence over everything else going on at the time.
The new album clearly reflects that doing so was a good idea. For, now in the studio, Ms. Love is working on the full-length recording, one which will reflect the history, iconic scenery and natural aspects of park settings. Due out in December 2016, Gigi is anxious to get the word out about this new and exiting project and release.
The artist loves to commune with nature, learn about history, especially as related to the National parks, and meet with community members. Often, those camping and hiking in the parks become part of a community during each visit. When it comes to songwriting, Gigi tries to write stories within the lyrics which are often unique in style and tone.
Whether the three song CD which has already been made available, or the upcoming album, the material is only a taste of what is still to come. For, the singer has only visited a portion of parks up until this point and time. As such, it will take more visits, more fans, more friends and more songs before the project is complete. After which, the artist will most likely come up with another plan based on beauty, history and nature.
When Dave Matthews personally asked Gigi to open at a show in Washington State, the singer was ecstatic. The artist considers this, and having opened at the closing ceremony of the United States Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, two of the biggest accomplishments to date. In the future, Ms. Love hopes to also add the National Parks Songs Project to this list once complete.
For, if citizens and tourists do not visit these areas, chances are many may be lost to commercial operations. For, there are companies already attempting to mine in Grand Canyon and other national parks. At the same time, there are many environmental and social justice groups which are working to stop this attack on the National Park system. Otherwise, not only will Gigi lose performance space, families will lose some of the best vacation spots in the world.
