Gigi Love’s National Parks Centennial Songs is all about her passion for our National Parks and capturing the story of our parks through the power of song. Yosemite Gold was the first song that she wrote about a National Park. “I was performing in Yosemite and a rock climber offered to sell me his mandolin for $25 because he needed gas money. I bought it and immediately walked into El Cap meadow and wrote the song. Something sparked in me that day and I had the vision for this project. That was 10 years ago.” 2016 is the 100th Anniversary of the Parks and this album will celebrate that milestone.
Performing, communing with nature, learning about the parks’ history and meeting the community within the parks will create the soundscape for the songs; exquisitely crafted and recorded to express the uniqueness of each park.
To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the National Park Service, says Love; “The songs are dedicated to the future generations, for the founders of our parks
