Tiny Library Concert: Gabrielle Louise with Jacob Russo

Gabrielle Louise (www.gabriellelouise.com) is a nationally touring troubadour noted for her poignant lyrics and lush voice. Her music is anchored deeply in folk and Americana, with the earthy feel of early Joni Mitchell and the spirited delivery of fellow genre-hopping artist Eva Cassidy. Gabrielle is at one moment folkie and ethereal, the next a smoky jazz chanteuse. Known for her authenticity and candor on stage, her performances are notably present and sincere, a professional presentation of her private creative world. Gabrielle Louise has shared the stage with greats such as Richie Havens, Tom Paxton, Patty Larkin, Eliza Gilkyson, and Guy Clark. Her third album, “If the Static Clears,” was released in September 2016.

Jacob Russo (www.sonicbids.com/band/jacobrusso) hails from the acoustic corn fields of western Colorado. Although he now calls the Front Range home, musical explorations have taken him far and wide, helping craft his unique blend of rustic indie-folk. Jacob’s live performances are tinged with a sort of hopeless honesty found only in the most genuine of folk musicians. He has shared the bill with folk artists such as Gregory Alan Isakov, SHEL and Caleb Hawley and is a fixture at the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival.

History Colorado’s Tiny Library Concert series features performances by local Colorado musicians in the unusual and intimate setting of the museum’s Stephen H. Hart Library and Research Center. Beer, wine, and cocktails will be available for purchase.

[$9 – $12]
