It was a transformational experience for Morgan as an emerging musician herself. Morgan took over organizing the camp in 2013 and developed it into a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

gabriella "guitar gabby" logan (She/her)


In 2016 Guitar Gabby began playing behind Diamond (a former Crime Mob member) and realized a gap between women and gender-expansive folk of color in the music industry. She then started and managed Diamond's backing band, which eventually led to her simultaneously creating TxLips Band, LLC.


Gabriella “Guitar Gabby” Logan is an Atlanta Native and proud graduate of Spelman College and Vermont Law School. Her environmental and music law background fueled her desire to start and manage the international touring collective Guitar Gabby & The TxLips Band, LLC. Logan believes artists must be well-rounded and versed in many areas of the music business, thus inspiring women and female-identifying musicians worldwide to be an unstoppable force.

She is currently a writer for Guitar World Magazine, President of the global Girls Rock Camp Alliance Board of Directors, the Board Chair of Girls Rock Asheville, Board Member for Girls Rock Bellingham, and Governor for the Atlanta Board of Directors of the Recording Academy. Additionally, she is a Board Member of the Vermont Law School Alumni Association Board of Directors, an Advisory Board member for the Well Dunn Foundation, the Diversity Editor for Guitar Girl Magazine, and an Outreach & Talent Acquisitions Strategist for American Conservation Experience (ACE).
