Portrait of a Town

The people that call Petaluma, HERE.

All I want to do is make my own music.

Something new but familiar, songs that feel as if you have known them

all your life but at the same time shake up the listener and make them feel.

Music that tastes and feels like it came from Petaluma.

I like the term Roots music, grounded in the past but

growing in our own direction.

Tradition country folk music is were we come from but this band,

our music is in the mist of a changing landscape, from dairies

to hatcheries to wineries.

My  hope is to capture this feeling of change,

evolving land and evolving sounds.

Not to much country and not to much city.

Gabby La La knew that she wanted to be a musician and performer since she was five years old!

She began singing songs from her favorite movie “Annie” and soon started taking piano lessons.
Some children play doctor, or chef, but Gabby played “superstar” and used the ends of her curtain rods for microphones!

After learning piano for several years, Gabby picked up the accordion, guitar, and then settled on the sitar.
Gabby Studied North Indian Classical Music at the Ali Akbar College of Indian Music for 4 years and then continued her training at The California Institute of the Arts where she received a BFA in Sitar Performance.

Gabby La La’s style has been described as “Kooky and Spooky”, “Experimental”, and “Unusual” but no matter what you call it, La La’s music will always bring a smile to your face.

Gabby’s first album “Be Careful What You Wish For…” was released in 2005 on Les Claypool’s Prawn Song Records.

She is currently performing and writing new music and working on a mini graphic collection of her songs.

Gabby La La has performed with Les Claypool, Buckethead, Bernie Worrell, Rat Dog, P Funk, Snoop Dogg, Weapon of Choice, Dakah Hip Hop Orchestra, The Benevento Russo Duo, and J Boogie’s Dubtronic Science, to name a few!

Be creative, be courageous, be careful what you wish for, and most importantly… BE YOURSELF! ” -Gabby La La
