If you ask anyone in Tucson about singer-songwriter Gabrielle “Gabby” Pietrangelo, they may tell you how she won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest with her Tucson anthem, “Summer Losers,” how she taught their children music, or helped someone find their voice after years away from singing. Gabrielle is a Tucson-based musician, award-winning songwriter, harmony group leader, teacher, and community builder, with a downtown music studio that is home to both school-age students and adults seeking to nurture their musical lives.
Gabrielle released her finest collection of songs to date on March 7, 2025, with her album Back to the Heart. As Duncan Hudson, Musical Director at KXCI, writes, “Back to the Heart is an album that was many years—and a lifetime of living—in the making and serves as a love song to this community, its people, their stories both personal and collective, and the amazing Sonoran Desert region we call home.” Whether performing solo or with her talented backing band, including Thøger Lund on upright bass, Casey Hadland on drums, and Chris Peña on keys, Gabrielle brings joy, artistry, and inspiration to every show.
