Small Miracles by Gwendolyn Gagne
As a young woman just out of her teens, Gwen Gagne lived for a couple of years on an island off the west coast of Canada, with no running water or hydro.
This experience was both foundational and felt like a natural expression of who she was. Gwen is the same person when writing and making music today. Intensely open to the beauty and teachings of nature and life itself, the rightness of what is happening right NOW.
Gwen’s songs are tuneful and solidly written. Gwen’s daughter, California-based Electronic/Acoustic songwriter Sasha Rose, is one of several talented musicians playing on her albums. Gwen’s songs feature harmonica, flute, hand-drums, piano, sparkling guitars, rippling bass and, always, beautiful vocal harmonies.
Gwendolyn has been writing songs for 4 decades now. She regularly plays house concerts, many of these fund raisers for worthy causes, as well as concerts and club performances in British Columbia and Mexico. Her first CD “Quiet Joy” dates from 2007 and “Small Miracles” was released in March of this year.
Gwen has also been a massage therapist for 39 years and has a home practice on Salt Spring Island.
Gwen Gagne: “Music, singing, song writing and sound healing are passions of mine that continually welcome me deeper into their energies of transformation. I sing as a way to express my love in this world, and pray that it may support others on their healing journey, as it does my own.
My daughter, Sasha Rose is a deep inspiration as she moves through the world offering her life to this path of healing through music, and song.
May you enjoy these song offerings from my heart to yours. So many blessings, such gratitude!”
Response from a recent house concert:
“ I always leave Gwen's delightful house concerts filled with grace, joy and inspiration!
She truly expresses her soul and spirit through her music, and this spreads joy to all hearts who hear!”
