Gigi Love And The National Parks Project

By Diane Clark


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 singer's hopes are to continue the project until having written a song about each National park. An endeavor that could no doubt take years before completion. Still, as the artist is back home and working on a full-length album of parks visited to date, it appears Ms. Love remains quite passionate about the project.

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.

Earlier, Ms. Love recorded and released a three song CD based on previous visits. One of which is that of Yosemite Gold, a song related to Yosemite National Park, a short distance from San Francisco, and Sacramento, California. Whether revisiting existing songs or performing new ones, the singer-songwriter rarely disappoints. To learn more about this great singer-songwriter, and to view information related to album releases, audios, videos, current performance dates, or past history, visit Gigi's Facebook and website.

The singer-songwriter has also opened for the David Matthews group, and performed at the closing ceremony at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Prior to, and since these earlier performances, the singer-songwriter continues to play a number of different venues in Salt Lake City, Utah and around the country. In doing so, the artist has shown an in-depth love for singing and songwriting, while often drawing large crowds at shows.

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.
