Gretchen Menn

Guitarist, music equipment endorser, composer, model

Gretchen is a highly-respected guitar player who has gained a strong following both in the instrumental music genre as well as hard rock. With her stunning looks, flaming red hair, and quick-fingered guitar mastery, she makes everyone stop and take notice. Her first solo album, Hale Souls (instrumental guitar) has already been released, and she is now finishing her second album. She continues to make frequent appearances with the Led Zeppelin tribute band Zepparella, which recently played to crowds of 3,000-5,000 on the U.S. West Coast. She is unmistakable as a female version of Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, and is one of the few female guitarists who has mastered his playing style.

She has also played with instrumental acoustic duo Lapdance Armageddon, rock trio Sticks and Stones, and AC/DC tribute band AC/DShe. With each collaboration she develops new playing techniques and expands her repertoire of songs.

She currently endorses several music equipment brands, is a frequent spokesperson at music trade shows and conventions, and is invited to join other guitar virtuosi (such as Steve Morse) at their performances.

To complement her jet-setting lifestyle, Gretchen is also a licensed pilot who used to fly commercial jets for a regional airline before concentrating on her guitar work.
