Coming out of the gate with “Somewhere Between,” a song that speaks to the season of life which finds her emerging from a long bout with Lyme disease, finishing college and launching head-on into her music career, Lovelace shares, “For the longest time, I’ve felt like I’m stuck in the blank page between two chapters. I can feel it turning, I can feel the progression of the story; but until now there has been nothing clear about it. This song is my way of saying I have felt stuck in the middle of these two seasons — between childhood and adulthood.” She continues, “We all have seasons of waiting, of uncertainty, but in those challenging times we often have the most growth. They prepare us for the next chapter.”
Old Bear Records co-founder, Anthony Hoisington, expresses his enthusiasm about signing the up-and-comer to his stellar roster of artists, “Gabrielle’s voice carries a rare kind of authenticity — unfiltered, soulful, and right in step with the creative heartbeat of Old Bear Records. We are beyond excited to partner with her and the music she creates.”
Growing up in a musical family, her father a musician and her mother also in the music business, Lovelace was immersed in and has a love for a variety of genres. An ardent student of lyric and rhyme from an early age, her love of words set her on a path to earning degrees in both English and creative writing. Continuously honing her craft as a tunesmith, it’s in the singer-songwriter category where she hopes to make her mark.
Distributed exclusively by Syntax Creative, Lovelace’s Old Bear Records offering is available on digital platforms worldwide.

ABOUT GABRIELLE LOVELACE
Gabrielle Lovelace grew up surrounded by the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains and immersed in music from an early age. The daughter of a musician and a music industry professional, she began writing songs in elementary school, using lyrics in place of a journal. With degrees in English and creative writing, her music reflects a deep love for language and a gift for storytelling.
Following a diagnosis of Lyme disease, Lovelace turned to songwriting for solace, drawing strength and clarity during a challenging season of isolation. The result is a collection of introspective, lyrically rich songs that highlight her warm alto and thoughtful perspective. Her debut track, “Somewhere Between,” captures the tension of navigating life between childhood and adulthood.
Influenced by the likes of Bobbie Gentry and Joni Mitchell, Lovelace explores questions of faith, identity, and purpose with poetic honesty. Grounded yet imaginative, her music invites listeners into a world where truth and beauty intertwine.
“Music meets you where you are,” she says. here to take us on that journey. “It also takes you somewhere new.” Lovelace is here to take us on that journey.
