ABOUT ME

I'm a performer and writer. I am so blessed to get to travel around singing my songs and meeting new people. Over the course of my career I have been shown such amazing hospitality that I am compelled to pass it on.

The best way to get a feel for who I am and what I'm about is to visit my website - http://www.gabriellelouise.com - or my public diary - http://cowbird.com/author/gabrielle-louise/

PHILOSOPHY

Maintain an open mind and heart.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This June I'll be CS and traveling in Europe, this July I'll be home on and off (Bing me if you're coming through) and this August on tour in the US. I've just moved into a new place in the mountains behind Boulder and excited to start hosting those days which I am planning to be home. I've got a great big garden and if you catch me at the right time we'll feast.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've CS a couple times and been really impressed with the general philosophy of generosity.

Music: Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, Joni Mitchell, Eliza Gilkyson, L. Cohen, Tom Waits, Bobby D, Joan Baez, Emmylou, Mark Knopfler, Punch Bros, Patty Griffen, Townes, but mostly lots of "little people" you've never heard of but still cast a spell and change lives just playing for someone in their living room or in the corner of a pub somewhere. Oh, and a new favorite who's rising quickly somehow despite the machinery: Father John Misty.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Building a raft out of bamboo trees and floating on a Patagonian lake, playing songs on a rowboat on the rio grand under a current of stars and coyote hoots, or sleeping tent-less on a sandy bank of the Colorado river in a rainstorm.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I love connecting with other musicians so we can share tunes! But even if you're not a musician - I love connecting with creative, fearless people. I want to hear about or, better yet, see the things that you're contributing to the world. When you die, will you leave behind a bank account or a book?
