These are things that happen more or less automatically from the perspective of a little kid who grows up completely immersed in music. But where we stand, there is deep talent and instinct in an excellent nurturing environment, which has gifted us with a prodigious talent. <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gayleskidmore\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gail Skidmore<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gayle, who has written more than two and a half thousand songs, never waits or desires inspiration. She combines her extensive training and years of experience with tireless dedication to create music that resonates deeply. His hometown of San Diego has recognized his talents with three San Diego Music Awards, and opening for artists like Jason Mraz and Lisa Loeb shows the broader industry taking notice. The collaboration, including Dave Catchings on guitar, highlights the musical relationship they were building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"The Road to Nowhere - Gayle Skidmore - Official Video\" width=\"801\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RBNzCIhqoOg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For her most recent journey, &#8220;The Road to Nowhere&#8221;, Gail returns to her indie folk roots as she reconnects with her family&#8217;s indigenous Sami heritage after a trip to the remote town of Salla, Finland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The release is accompanied by its amazing sunny music video directed by Gail with the help of Anastasya Korol and Rob Teeuwen. It takes place on California&#8217;s famous Bombay Beach and features some of the most fun, beautiful and adorable art creations there, which contrasts perfectly with Gale&#8217;s colorful outfits and bubbly presence on screen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The Road to Nowhere&#8221; captures the liberating feeling of letting go during a journey. Gail Skidmore describes it as a way of expressing the healing energy of escaping to a place away from the heaviness of recent years. The song captures both the joy of travel and the feeling of freedom that comes from leaving worries behind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On his journey to remote Salla, Gale drove for four days. She adjusted to a different wavelength of reality, where her problems seemed distant in both time and space. That&#8217;s why Bombay Beach would make a perfect location to shoot a video and convey what it means to escape from reality or connect with something wild and rich.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So here&#8217;s your call to action. Go watch the video. Even if you&#8217;re sitting in your living room, listen to the song with the windows down. Find your own way to nowhere. It doesn&#8217;t have to be four days to the Arctic Circle. It just has to happen somewhere that weight starts increasing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Connect with Gail Skidmore<br \/><\/strong><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gayleskidmore\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">    | <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCCLs78zMeYrJuvcAJqGbaAg\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">youtube<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">    | <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/2NLpPMRaslQ9HDebOlN1Os\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">spotify<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A three-year-old child does not decide to become a songwriter, and a four-year-old child does not set out on a journey to become a celebrated multi-instrumentalist.
