MusiSHEans brings together professional female guitarists from all over the world and organizes an annual tour through Europe. The vision: a world in which musicians are recognized regardless of their gender. Because music has no gender. By bringing professional female guitarists to the stage, MusiSHEans creates visible role models for the next generation - and encourages young girls to pick up an instrument, find their own voice and try out music freely.
For the MusiSHEans Guitar Tour 2026, founders Judith Beckedorf from Germany and Karlijn Langendijk from the Netherlands welcome Ali Tod from Scotland and Valeria Galimova from Russia for an unforgettable musical journey through Europe. The four artists perform both solo and in changing combinations, covering a wide range of styles: percussive fingerstyle, classical guitar, modern and pop fingerstyle as well as singer/songwriter. MusiSHEans is supported by internationally
renowned artists, including Badi Assad (Brazil), Tommy Emmanuel (Australia), Jon Gomm (England) and John Knowles (USA).
