When a person has a dream of becoming a musician, too often the dream goes unfulfilled. However, this is not the case for Gigi Love who is currently participating in a National Parks centennial songs project. The artist plans to write a song related to the iconic community and scenery of each park.
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 buying a mandolin from a fellow park visitor last Summer, Ms. Love found a quiet meadow in which the singer sat down and began writing songs. While writing, Gigi decided to start planning the current park project. After which, the singer returned home and released a mini-recording of three songs related to the project.
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.
While a three song EP has been recorded and released, it is only a small taste of what is yet to come. Once the full length compact disc is out in December 2016, there is no doubt the world will know more about Ms. Love as well as the different parks. For, while each are part of the National park system, each location has an individual icon beauty, and story to tell.
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.
The ultimate hope is that these songs will inspire others to get out and visit these great parks. For, if citizens and tourists do not visit and use these green and rocky spaces on a regular basis, these natural resources could likely be replaced by commercial operations. Some of these endeavors include, fracking, mining and other operations which are not only a detriment to the parks but also the health of those living in, or visiting the area.
