Here we are in '24: "I heard BB King one day..." Legends live on forever. What an amazing young woman.
I feel so old, a lot of the music she’s playing, I have seen in concert during the 70’s, now this young girl has taken it to a whole new level, she’s definitely going places with her own style of playing.
Thank God for young people like this, keeping music alive.
I have a 17 year old granddaughter who while she's an artist, she's not a musician. But her demeanor reminds of her. I'm a guitarist for over 50 years. So I appreciate good musicians . Good luck my dear.
Sounds really good very very good
a "musician" can be payed to play just about anything. an Artist however invests time in their own craft. be careful how you speak.
she gives me hope. I know I'm not alone in that sentiment.
Our future is in good hands if we have people like Grace at the helm. Wow! I love her playing and her generosity of spirit. Go Grace!
Wow, her playing is beyond her years!!! The blues will go on with youngsters like this!

“Ain’t no 6 year old kid knows the true meanin’ of the blues”
Amen! Very excited for her and other young musicians like Kingfish! ❤
@@BradMaddox-vn7to What about it?
Not really
What a lovely & talented young woman with a great social consciousness &respect & love of music history. Someone to watch & support !
Thank God we have young people like this to save the world
I was no where near that mature at 17. I love the fact that she knows her history and appreciates the legends of the blues, and plays P90’s. I look forward to hearing more from her.
Impressive for sure.... feel better about the future of real music... Kinda like a young Bonnie Rait comes to mind... BB's legacy lives on...
She's an absolutely badass guitar player 🔥❤️🔥🤙
I knew when she said she heard BB and that got her interested, she was gonna be a star. 17 and she's rockin a 61 SG already. That is so awesome. First time I ever heard of her. Wishing you a great long and successful career Grace. Just the fact that you mentioned BB, Carlos, and Joe tells me I'm a fan of yours already. Cheers young lady.
This is great to see.Keep the Blues Alive young lady.
I first saw a video posted on Reddit of Grace playing guitar a couple years ago. I knew that she was talented back then but now she is phenomenal.
I truly hope she has an amazing career and I can't wait to start hearing original songs from her.
I've been following Grace for a while. It's awesome watching her get better by leaps and bounds. She was born for this. I swear I hear Roy Buchanan reincarnated sometimes.
Holly smokes, I remember Grace from Berklee's Five Week a year ago 😮
Love seeing an electric guitar being played with fingers instead of a pick, so cool 😎
Wowww Grace is such a naturally gifted guitarist, a breath of pure, fresh air and a grounded young lady. I sincerely hope she goes onto musical greatness and truly establishes herself, in the world 🌎 of blues, blues-rock music. 👏🤞🙏🤟🎸🌟
Great To See Young Talent Into The Blues. Beautiful and Tasteful Guitars.
You are an amazing inspiration. At 17 to have the depth and soul of the blues gives this old picker some hope for generations to come. Peace be with you
It is awesome that you got this opportunity and I am envious something I always wanted to do and how knowledgeable you are at 17 I am 62 I hope you follow your dreams and flourish. We need to keep the blues alive and always pay if forward as you just mentioned you did stay true to your heart and you will do great things. ❤
I love her back story. When I first read it, I thought I was reading my own start with a guitar. Needless to say, my road took a much different turn, and I never found my potential. But I still love the guitar. And I think she is great.
Hearing this young lady invoke B.B made my heart swell.
" I heard B.B. King one day...."...that's THE phrase that summarises each and every rock 'n' roll trip ever taken.
Wow! What a great player, I will definitely keep an ear out for your music. The future of new music is looking bright! Go for it!
You’re so awesome Grace! Great heart, rad guitarist!
Incredibly beautiful guitar tones !
Thank You.
Amazing Grace !!! 🎶🎶🎶✨️🙂
The Les Paul sounded really good and when you said Santana you got my attention 👍🐝 and you are right about the blues
Kid for some reason, she will be your biggest winner.

Blues is cool ! Anything you derive from that make your own !
“All things must pass” in the warm up 👍🏾 ❤
Go kiddo, great playing Grace !! All the best with your career.
She certainly is going to make her own path thru the Musical River. (Luv that she has studied the blues) It'll serve her well for years to come.
This young lady is extremely talented and she will leave her mark on the music scene.
New fan looking forward to hearing more keep going and don’t stop.
She's a special person and I expect I'll be hearing her music for a very long time.
Great Grace play the blues and boogie 🎉❤

A fabulous and truly talented young gtr player! A stellar future awaits you, you are a most gifted and hardworking artist. 🎶🌟👍
What an adorable, lovely, talented, classy young woman. I support you 1000%! ❤🎉❤
She's the real deal. Definitely going to keep my ear on her...
I am so happy for you and excited that the emerging generation has so much talent and love for past interests (Blues, rock and roll, actually any music from the past, I love classical as well and the sound of horns and violins/fiddles etc) it is where we came from. Absolutely no doubt. I will be following 🙂
Your physical resemblance to Tal Wilkenfeld (Bass Phenom) is astounding. I hope I get to see the two of you play together some day.
Wow .. what a talent!
So cool to see the younger generation appreciate and carry on the tradition of the blues. I didn't pick up the guitar until I was 17, she is way ahead of the curve talent wise!
This gives me hope. Saving Grace! :0)
She's too cool ! She can play with the best keep it going ❤
What a gifted young guitarist, plus such caring for the Covenant School to have immediately put together a benefit for them. She is a quality individual all around.
cool this is a lot of knowledge for 17 keep it going don't change your thoughts BB King was a good friend as well as a musician keep on rockin child
Grace eres un ángel de la buena música sigue así y llegarás a estar junto a los grandes del blues
Wow what a great player!!!
BB king lives on through this inspirational young woman. Hope she tours the UK at some point.
Grace and Taj I can see making Phenomenal music together at some point! 👌😎🎸🏴🇬🇧
What a talent.
I'm in love
OHHHH MY GOD YOU ARE WONDERFUL...❤❤❤❤❤
She's a very talented guitarist and she has a wise head on young shoulders, she is absolutely delightful.
GRACE!!!!👏🏻👏🏻🎸🎶🎵🤘🏼
I follow her on Instagram. The first time I heard her play I knew she was going to be the next great guitarist. I really hope to see her become that one day but at this rate it's inevitable.
Hermosa gitaRra tambìen quien toca🎸👌⚘️😊😊😊
Cool man i actually was watching her a few years ago on Reddit when live music was appreciated on the platform
I stumbled upon Grace a few years ago on accident and was just blown away by the obvious talent and potential. It has been so fun to see her career progress and now take off. She is my favorite younger player these days. Go, Grace, Go!
Wow, great player
She was great playing onstage at the Nashville NYE show!
une merveille
I am 62, my life is the Blues, happy to see the youth like Grace keeping Blues Rollin Along .
Hey! Fantastic talent + great personality. Up there with the masters ;) Wow!!! (from 72 years old guitarist LOL)
you're very fortunate to have that SG & Les Paul... Original Bluesman worked hard in the fields and farms - sang the Blues all week, but Church was Sunday morning...p Church music and Blues Creates Rock and Roll !
She rules!
Fantastic! You really know how to make an SG with P90's sing!
This girl is very special. Guard her from all danger.
Gosh. Love it!
I am 72, I hope I get to stick around a little longer to watch Her really blazer A trail🤘🤘🤘⚘️⚘️⚘️
You have a great look and style kid, keep it up.
Fantastic player , talent and beautiful a great package!
Got some sweet equipment. Nice that she has a purpose with her talent.
Simply outstanding skills for an absolutely beautiful young woman, the hair is just wild! Best wishes Gracie Tear it up girl!
Love from Redding... 😎
Amazing girl
She's so adorable.
WOW, I'm proud of your music tastes and your guitar heroes are mine too. I saw Santana when I was 13. My brother took me. I was already listening to the music he and my sisters listened to. My dad played folk and flamenco guitar and some classical. So us kids had broad tastes. I wish you lots of success and enjoyment in your career. Please watch out for the industry sharks. They have ruined many with drugs and pressure. Good luck 🍀
I first heard her on Reddit livestream nailing Stevie Ray Vaughan, Marc Bolan/T.Rex, and Eric Clapton licks. She's been growing into her own I hope she find the mainstream success she deserves and not get shoved into a niche like so many of her blues contemporaries today.
Don't hold thy breath. I might be jaded at this point but I've seen far too many promising young female musicians sexualize themselves as soon as they get a stage presence and a record deal. It isn't hard to understand why as the ones who don't fade from the public view and the gigs dry up. Popular/Rock music isn't really the space for welcoming women to the table on their musical merit alone, that's more Jazz and Classical.
@@sercastamere9853might be different with grace considering she's transgender.
HUH??
Me parece una chica muy sencilla y linda además de talentosa con esas guitarras q las toca de una forma especial las conoce tan bien guau
Her modesty and respect is alive and well.
Toca muy bien m gustaría oírla en vivo
Go Grace
For just 17, this girl has got some crazy awesome equipment! Soldano, Boogie, Fender, Gibson? Man! Where did I go wrong in my younger days? Oh, yeah, right. I grew up in the 80's. That shit never happened back then. Totally Jelly! Worked all year as a dishwasher at 13 years old, to save up, and buy a Carvin 50W half stack. Man, times have changed. Best wishes to you Grace Bowers. Beautiful name. Beautiful face. Beautiful game! Just keep doing what you love most. You are in the scene. Best to you! Forever! XOXO!
Pretty sure they belong to Guitar Center and not her. But I suppose she might as well have some sort of sponsor deal.
Impressive! Kinda bummed I can't find any of her music to buy. Someone get this young woman a record deal!
🤙🏻
“Blues is the roots, everything else is the fruits.” So said one of the most prolific Blues songwriter, Willie Dixon.
that's something an egomaniac says to cope with other music genres they don't like but whatever go off.
This young woman is an old soul
Natural beauty 😳😳😳💋
Brilliant to close her charitable even with "The Weight." How apropos!
