About
Gigi:
Whether
armed with an electric guitar or her worn acoustic, Gigi Love leaves an
indelible imprint vocally, while juggling blues and rock with country and folk.
Close on the heels of her hero, the great Bonnie Raitt, Love's influences
include Lucinda Williams, Emmylou Harris, Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin, and Neil
Young.
Like Willie Nelson, Gram Parsons and Townes Van Zandt, she earned her honky-tonk chops in Texas. At the age of seven, Love began performing and playing guitar. By 12, she was filling venues with names such as Johnny High's Country Music Review in Ft. Worth, and the Grapevine and Stevenville Opry Houses in Texas.
While at Southern Utah University, she founded the Gigi Love Band and played regionally throughout the west. After hearing her play one night, a rep from Yellow Moon Records backed her for her first album, Scorpio Rising (1997), which sold more than 5,000 copies regionally, before she had national distribution through the Orchard. Her second album Coyote Bones (2000) is a beautiful example of her rousing acoustic performance style. Love's third album, Turning to Gold was released in January 2005. Her newest recording Cosmic Tales of the West features her band The Hearts of Gold and was released May 18th 2008. After her Olympic performance a promotion company for Mountain Dew added Love to their college compilation CD-the Six Pack. This promotion is sent out to over 300 college radio stations. For the past two years she has been touring with her sponsorship from Mountain Dew. Love is now living in Durango, Colorado and touring on the Mountain Dew College Circuit tour, while gearing up for the 2012-2013 festival season with a 4 piece band. www.gigilove.com
