Our Ambassadors
Guitars For Veterans Australia is proud to profile our Ambassadors who are professional artists and songwriters supporting the idea that music has a powerful and healing force. Encouraging and sharing the ability to create music is good spirit, and we highly appreciate our Ambassadors for making themselves available to support veterans through the G4VA program.
