While it can often be difficult for musicians to find performance space, there are others for which this is no problem. Gigi Love, a singer-songwriter, has found a creative way of doing so. Currently, this involves creating and participating in the 100th anniversary of the United States National Parks system by performing and writing material at each location.
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.
In large part, this new album is being released to commemorate the 100th anniversary. The artist's hopes are to create a new song for each park visited. Once Ms. Love returns home, records and releases this new album, it will be available at stores and online. To learn more about Ms. Love and previous recordings, check out audio and video cuts on the artist's Facebook page, website and videos on sites such as YouTube.
As the singer loves to learn about history, beauty and nature, this seemed the perfect project. However, with so many parks in the system, it will most likely be years before the project sees completion. At the same time, during the course of the project, fans will no doubt continue to hear new and interesting material from this singer-songwriter.
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.
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.
