LOS ANGELES - eTradeWire -- RM Records today announced its partnership with San Diego singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Gayle Skidmore, whose new single "Old Photographs" arrives worldwide on November 13 through RM Records' distribution via Virgin Music Group.

Born from a songwriting prompt from an Irish songwriter, the banjo-driven "Old Photographs" opens a dusty box found under the bed and lets the memories spill out. Gayle recorded it in Prague with engineer Larson Haakenstad, then finished it in California with RM Records founder Peter Rafelson, who mixed and mastered the track, and producer Ariel Levine.

The single follows "The Road to Nowhere," Gayle's ode to her family's Sámi roots in Salla, Finland, which earned an Outstanding Achievement in Songwriting award from the Great American Song Contest.

Gayle has written more than 2,500 songs, and Times of San Diego praised her "melody to spare, and inspired arrangements." She plays more than 20 instruments, from banjo and mountain dulcimer to folk harp and balalaika. Her credits include music in HBO's Looking and the 2018 film Little Women, three San Diego Music Awards, and shows opening for Jason Mraz and Lisa Loeb. She returned home to San Diego after eight years in the Netherlands.

"Gayle is one of the most gifted songwriters and multi-instrumentalists I know, and 'Old Photographs' shows exactly why," said Peter Rafelson, President of RM Records. "Through Virgin Music Group her songs now reach listeners everywhere."

"Peter has been a friend and collaborator for years, and I'm thrilled to bring these songs home to RM Records," said Gayle Skidmore. "'Old Photographs' is about the people we keep tucked away in our memories. I hope it finds a place in yours."

Gayle celebrates release day on Friday, November 13 at 7:00 p.m. at the La Jolla Community Center's Acoustic Evenings series. More RM Records singles and a holiday album follow next year, plus a spring U.S. tour and a return to Finland next summer.
