Gabrielle Louise
Gabrielle Louise is an Americana artist noted for her poignant lyrics (a two-time John Lennon
Songwriting Contest finalist, winner of the Jack Maher Songwriting Award) and astonishing
vocals. The daughter of two gypsy musicians, Gabrielle inherited the genetic predisposition to
wanderlust and song.
She has toured and recorded with a wide variety of configurations, but most recently she has put
together a Boulder based group billed The Gabrielle Louise Show, which includes David Rynhart
on Lead Guitar/Piano/Mandolin and Vocal Harmonies, and Ryan Drickey on Fiddle/Cello. Carl
Sorenson is often found joining on Percussions.
According to the Spencer Daily Reporter "They have been making their mark on the acoustic
scene with a live show that yields smart topical songs, rich soaring vocals, and show-stopping,
genre-hopping sets." With The Gabrielle Louise Show, variety is the ticket. Don’t be surprised to
catch a tango performance by the dancers who frequent her shows, or an exhibit by a local artist
or photographer.
Gabrielle Louise's songs are anchored in folk and roots, while her melody and delivery show
strong pop sensibilities. Her sound has the earthy feel of early Joni Mitchell while also capturing
the emotion and musical adventurism of fellow genre-hopping artist Martin Sexton. Gabrielle is
at one moment folkie and ethereal, the next moment a smoky jazz chanteuse. She has 100%
independently released four records, Journey (2006), Around in Circles, the E.P. (2007), and
Cigarettes for Sentiments (2008), and Live in Coal Creek Canyon (2009).
Gabrielle Louise is a performer, who like many other socially-conscious musicians, has made a
commitment towards peace and the environment through music. Gabrielle has released a new
single, "Save the Arkansas" that seeks to bring awareness to a dire environmental situation
threatening the health and safety of the Arkansas River Watershed. Having both grown up and
worked as a raft guide on the Arkansas, maintaining the purity of its waters is very important to
her. She was also recently asked by the Willie Nelson Peace Institute to cover Nelson's "Peaceful
Solution."
Recently, Gabrielle is getting really involved in the world of alternative fueling. The band has
been touring this year in what's known as a "Veggie Van," using what would be thrown out
restaurant grease to fuel the tour van! Originally from Colorado, Gabrielle has also made her
home on the East coast, in Boston and New York. She currently resides in Denver, CO.
