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.
