Hott Mess is the 2022 US Air Guitar Champion!

Please join us in congratulating your 2022 U.S. Air Guitar Champion, Rachel ‘Hott Mess’ Sinclair! On Saturday July 15, Sinclair brought her air guitar to the masses on stage at Dante’s in Portland, OR at the 20th Annual U.S. Championships, performing alongside in a stacked field of twenty competitors from around the nation. Sinclair triumphed due to her acumen in the competition's three judging criteria: technical merit, stage presence and 'airness'. This was Sinclair's fifth appearance at Nationals and first championship title.

Sinclair will advance to Oulu, Finland for her second appearance at the World Air Guitar Championships in August. There, she will perform alongside fellow 2021 US and World air guitar champs Andrew 'Flying' Finn, Rob 'The Marquis' Messel and fellow air guitarists from around the globe!

Stay tuned for a full breakdown of Saturday’s incredible Finals competition.
