An Earth Day Celebration with Environmental Troubadour Gabrielle Louise
Friday, 23 Apr 2010 at 5:30 pm – Reiman Gardens
Performer and songwriter Gabrielle Louise is a nationally touring troubadour with a commitment to the environment. An advocate of alternative fuels, she tours in a van fueled entirely by vegetable oil. She will offer a 30-minute workshop on the economic and environmental impact of this alternative fuel source, followed by a concert. Louise is a two-time John Lennon Songwriting Contest finalist and winner of the Jack Maher Songwriting Award. She has independently released four records: Journey (2006), Around in Circles, the E.P. (2007), Cigarettes for Sentiments (2008), and Live in Coal Creek Canyon (2009).For more information about Gabrielle Louise, go to www.gabriellelouise.com
