An all-female guitarist compilation, She Rocks, Vol. 1., is due for release on January 20 in cooperation with the Women’s International Music Network (theWiMN.com), hosts of the famed She Rocks Awards. The compilation will be celebrated at the 2017 She Rocks Awards in Anaheim, CA during the annual NAMM Convention.
This collection of kick-ass guitar goddesses is produced by author and former Guitar World editor, Brad Tolinski with guitarist Steve Vai as executive producer, and showcases eleven female guitarists, each a virtuoso in her own right.
It features the amazing talents of Orianthi, Yasi Hofer, Kat Dyson, Sarah Longfield, Lita Ford, Jennifer Batten, Nita Strauss, Steph Paynes, Nili Brosh, Menn, and Yvette Young.
“Through the years women have become more and more interested in ripping it up on the guitar. It’s amazing to watch. Favored Nations is very excited to be working with producer Brad Tolinski in creating a compilation of many of the women who are evolving the instrument in powerful ways. They are wildly raising the bar.” said Steve Vai.
