‘I Met My Guitarist Last Night’: Grace Bowers Finally Meets Slash, Whose Welcome to the Jungle Solo Inspired Her to Pick Up the Guitar

Grace Bowers can cross one more thing off her bucket list after meeting Slash this past Sunday (June 30). The two met at Gibson Garage in downtown Nashville, where Slash was promoting his new solo album, Orgy of the Damned, with an intimate interpretation of some classic blues pieces.

“Met my guitar hero last night @slash,” Bowers posted on Instagram, alongside several photos with Slash. In early June, Bowers also announced that his band, The Hodge Podge, would open for Slash on August 5 in Pennsylvania as part of the latter’s SERPENT festival.
