In 1999, Randi Driscoll’s original song What Matters was first independently released and sold out of the trunk of Randi’s car at various coffeehouses, college campuses, festivals and record stores, with proceeds of the benefit single supporting the Matthew Shepard Foundation.

 

In 2002, Kevin Robison and Randi Driscoll released the choral version of What Matters which has been performed nationwide by countless GALA choirs. Randi recorded the song with GMCLA, for their “Red, White and Blues” cd, and the song has been performed at prestigious venues all over. In 2006, Randi was awarded the Matthew Shepard Foundation “Essential Piece” award.

 

Along with being covered by various choirs and artists, the song has been featured in stage productions, films, documentaries, and commercials, and continues to be included in performances of The Laramie Project. In 2009, a celebrity performance of The Laramie Project Epilogue featured Randi and the GMCLA performing What Matters at the Broad Theatre in Los Angles. The song was named one of the best Pride anthems by The Advocate magazine and received a special mention in Rolling Stone.
