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.
Love's songs are often honest, bluesy songs with a folk twist which describe the singer-songwriter's travels, dreams and vision quests. Most often, songs written and performed by the artist whether onboard a train or at a park, capture the attention of audiences by taking listeners on a musical journey. Born and raised in Texas, Gigi began singing at the age of 7, then by age 12 was performing in numerous Texas venues.
If the artist sounds familiar, it is most likely due to a televised appearance on the Winter Olympics, or having opened for David Matthews at the Columbia River Gorge. Following Love's performance at the Winter Olympics, a local label picked up the artist. After which, Gigi toured areas west of the Mississippi and Texas, appearances which has led to airplay on college and community 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.
