Travel the passageway BACK IN TIME to explore the Grand Canyon and her rich and deep history!
Have you heard of synesthesia? It is the fusion of the senses, which enhances the visual and auditory worlds. Meagan Gipson’s album 100 Years Away, seeks to do just that by blending a vibrant color palette of instrumentation and lyrical foundation together. Through the intimate stories of her ancestors’ lives, she introduces you to the strength, mystery and passion that surrounded their existence.
Her perspective travels the passageway 100 Years Away, bringing diary entries, personal accounts and love-gone-wrong with a complex mix of modern and vintage sound. Take a dusty trail ride, step inside a rowdy Honky Tonk, dance through a monsoon and feel the presence of her great-great-grandmother’s spirit. Listen to a special track, “Guy Quickstep,” a classical piece penned over a century ago, by her great-great-grandmother, Ada Diefendorf-Bass, brought to life by a string quartet. The Grand Canyon’s distinct setting provides a sublime backdrop to the storyline of her family’s rich and significant history rooted in Arizona’s Birthmark ™.
