Rapidly gaining praise in the world of instrumental rock and beyond, Gretchen Menn isn’t your average guitar hero on the rise. She once flew regional jets to support her six-string habit. She has studied, in equal parts, the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Steve Morse, Frank Zappa, and Jimmy Page. Perhaps Guitar Player Magazine’s editor-in-chief described Gretchen’s solo music best when he said that she “seeks the unknown by blending disparate jazz, prog, and world-music influences into a tasty, guitaristic thrill ride.” Her first solo album, Hale Souls, is an instrumental album of original compositions that range from aggressive to celestial. Her second solo album, Abandon All Hope, is a musical journey through the underworld of Dante's Inferno.
