Our dear Gretchen Menn received the INSPIRE Award at last weekend's She Rocks Awards at NAMM. Her speech was so eloquent, so perfect, we wanted to share it here. Gretchen's approach to creativity and musicality is indeed so inspiring, and we are so lucky to be inspired by her every day. We love you G! Congratulations!

Angela Petrilli is a wonderful guitarist, a true professional, and a gracious and spectacular being who helped us when our dear Gretchen Menn had to miss some shows. You can check out Angela's original songs at angelapetrillimusic.com. Check out this fun interview Gretchen recorded of the two in conversation. We love you Angela! | zepparella

"Tears in Heaven" by Eric Clapton This is a such a pure, heartfelt song. In coming up with a solo guitar arrangement of it, I wanted to respect the simple beauty and work in the vocal melody where it felt right. This is on a Furch Guitars nylon crossover model, a GNc 2-CW, through a Mesa Boogie Rosette acoustic amp. | Gretchen Menn

"Is There Anybody Out There?" by Pink Floyd/Roger Waters. This elegant, graceful piece is such a beautiful reminder that technical flexes aren't always necessary for musical impact. ✨✨🤘🤓 I'm using a Breedlove Guitars Concert CE and a Tonewood-Amp. Links below. | Gretchen Menn
