Check out my buddy David Rynhart's music, he's in my top friends. You'll notice, or have noticed that we often perform as a pair. Here's a video of one of David's songs, Ocean Wide, from our show at The Bieroc Cafe:
Gabrielle Louise’s music is an incorporation of contrasting elements that blend folk, pop, roots, jazz, and country. She creates music as versatile as her geographical history. From her small-town Colorado upbringing through her recent cosmopolitan city experience, she has developed an old soul, a traveler's spirit, and a voice as clear as a Rocky Mountain morning.
"Articulate and gifted, Gabrielle Louise... is an artist who comes to music from a literary vantage point, first and foremost...But the lyrics standing alone are only part of the story...As a vocalist Gabrielle Louise dives deep into her songs, exploring them in a warm, sturdy voice reminiscent at times of Joni Mitchell...especially in the falsetto flights and lower register swoops...She executes a captivating balance of heartache and resolve."
--David McGee, www.thebluegrassspecial.com has written for rolling stone, pro sound news, spin...currently the country music editor at barnesandnoble.com (New York City, New York)
"...Her beautiful voice carrying a message of peace could be mistaken for a visit from a member of an angelic choir. But there is more to Gabrielle Louise than her musicianship and talent. [She is] a staunch advocate of environmental responsibility...I find encouragement in a commitment like this."--Willie Nelson's Peace Research Institute
"Gabrielle Louise is a deceiving package. Though young and beautiful, the guitar-playing singer/songwriter sounds like an older woman. Her pop/country blend is distinctly adult-contemporary in flavor and boasts mature lyrics. Lovers of folk music will appreciate Louise's strong voice, which she uses with equal success on stunning high notes and rumbling lows." --The Gazette, (Colorado Springs, CO)
"We are so excited to be able to bring a young star of this energy and passion to The Radio Room…Gabrielle Louise is one of those artists that people talk about for years after seeing her perform."
--Ryan Stringfellow, executive director of KAFM, and John Anglim, Radio Room Manager (Grand Junction, CO)
Hey there Gabrielle! I absolutely love your stuff! I am in charge of planning all of the upcoming events for our shop. We do live local bands all the time with great drinks and Haircut specials while the band plays. We are wanting up our roster a bit and I would love to work with you. Give me a time when you'd be available to meet. I have a pretty easy to work with schedule. Thanks so much!
Hey, great show the other night in Kearney, NE. It was very nice talking to you. Keep up the awesome music and I hope what looks to be a very long tour is a good one as well!
Hello Gabrielle, Thanks for your friendship. You have a beautiful voice that matches your looks. Your music is great. Stop by Crow Mountain and listen to The Prophets. We wish you well.
Salut from Hamburg, Gabrielle! I was listening your music, you have totally cool songs on your player! Wish you a wonderful weekend and send good feelings, Silva
Ahhh...Katharine and I are hiking Mt. Bierstadt June 12th and seeing John Prine that night at Red Rocks. I didn't know you guys were going to be in CO springs that night!
