Lil G grew up listening to a variety of musicians and genres that have played an influential role in shaping her signature sound.

Lil G visited Nashville all the way from Australia to record her first single and spent some time chatting with us. https://www.lilgretroguitarlife.com https://www.youtube.com/@UCMF1t7fdkHOj5W4QxWA0eOg https://www.facebook.com/guitargem808 Tommy Norman is the Vice President for the Nashville Blues And Roots Alliance, a business leader, as well as a guitarist who has played the clubs on Beale Street and the dive bars in Nashville.
