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.
While singing onboard is one aspect of the joint program, Gigi, having visited over 2 dozen parks where the singer-songwriter absorbed the surroundings, learned the history and wrote songs is an even bigger aspect. In fact, a number of songs are included on a full length album titled National Parks Centennial Songs. According to the Acoustic Outpost, a few songs which topped the 100 songs from Folk stations between 2016 and 2017.
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.
The artist writes lyrics which are often bluesy honest songs that tell stories of the singer-song writer's experiences, dreams, travels and vision quests. In most cases, the lyrics capture the attention of audiences which take most of those in attendance on a musical journey. Gigi, having started singing at the early age of 7, then performing at Texas venues by age 12, definitely has the know-how and experience to do so.
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.
The singer-songwriter has also debuted at the New England Regional Folk Alliance's Suzi Wollenberg Folk DJ Showcase. In addition, the artist has continued to open for well known artists since first appearing at the Olympics. One of a number of artists for which the singer has now opened for is that of Utah Phillips. After which, Love created a rendition of Utah's song "Going Away, " which can be heard on Pandora radio.
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.
