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.
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.

Thank God we have young people like this to save the world
Great To See Young Talent Into The Blues. Beautiful and Tasteful Guitars.
She's an absolutely badass guitar player 🔥❤️🔥🤙
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...
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 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.
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.
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. 👏🤞🙏🤟🎸🌟
Love seeing an electric guitar being played with fingers instead of a pick, so cool 😎
" I heard B.B. King one day...."...that's THE phrase that summarises each and every rock 'n' roll trip ever taken.
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
You’re so awesome Grace! Great heart, rad guitarist!
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. ❤
Hearing this young lady invoke B.B made my heart swell.
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!
Incredibly beautiful guitar tones !
Thank You. Amazing Grace !!! 🎶🎶🎶✨️🙂
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.
Holly smokes, I remember Grace from Berklee's Five Week a year ago 😮
What an amazing young lady, she belongs to another time 😊
I am 72, I hope I get to stick around a little longer to watch Her really blazer A trail🤘🤘🤘⚘️⚘️⚘️
All the best to you! Graceful lady!
New fan looking forward to hearing more keep going and don’t stop.
FABULOUS PLAYING FEEL & PHRASING !! !!
A fabulous and truly talented young gtr player! A stellar future awaits you, you are a most gifted and hardworking artist. 🎶🌟👍
Blues is cool ! Anything you derive from that make your own !
“All things must pass” in the warm up 👍🏾 ❤
God bless your future, you me make cry with your passion 😊🥲😉✌✌✌🤘🤘
Just an old soul
Great Grace play the blues and boogie 🎉❤
Kid for some reason, she will be your biggest winner.
Go kiddo, great playing Grace !! All the best with your career.
She's an amazing person and guitar player😊
She's a special person and I expect I'll be hearing her music for a very long time.
What an adorable, lovely, talented, classy young woman. I support you 1000%! ❤🎉❤
This young lady is extremely talented and she will leave her mark on the music scene.
Wow .. what a talent!
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.
This girl is an old soul.
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.
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!
BB king lives on through this inspirational young woman. Hope she tours the UK at some point.
Grace eres un ángel de la buena música sigue así y llegarás a estar junto a los grandes del blues
This gives me hope. Saving Grace! :0)
I'm in love
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 🍀
She's the real deal. Definitely going to keep my ear on her...
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.
She's too cool ! She can play with the best keep it going ❤
Grace and Taj I can see making Phenomenal music together at some point! 👌😎🎸🏴🇬🇧
Gosh. Love it!
She's a very talented guitarist and she has a wise head on young shoulders, she is absolutely delightful.
What a talent.
GRACE!!!!👏🏻👏🏻🎸🎶🎵🤘🏼
OHHHH MY GOD YOU ARE WONDERFUL...❤❤❤❤❤
“Blues is the roots, everything else is the fruits.” So said one of the most prolific Blues songwriter, Willie Dixon.
Cool man i actually was watching her a few years ago on Reddit when live music was appreciated on the platform
Wow, great player
I am 62, my life is the Blues, happy to see the youth like Grace keeping Blues Rollin Along .
She was great playing onstage at the Nashville NYE show!
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!
une merveille
The Les Paul sounded really good and when you said Santana you got my attention 👍🐝 and you are right about the blues
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 !
You have a great look and style kid, keep it up.
She has spider hands❤ crawling ever so elegantly on that guitar! And love that she is not playing with a pick! She's phenomenal! Next greatest female player, IMO!
Simply outstanding skills for an absolutely beautiful young woman, the hair is just wild! Best wishes Gracie Tear it up girl!
Fantastic player , talent and beautiful a great package!
Amazing girl
This girl is very special. Guard her from all danger.
Love from Redding... 😎
Hey! Fantastic talent + great personality. Up there with the masters ;) Wow!!! (from 72 years old guitarist LOL)
Hermosa gitaRra tambìen quien toca🎸👌⚘️😊😊😊
She rules!
Impressive! Kinda bummed I can't find any of her music to buy. Someone get this young woman a record deal!
Fantastic! You really know how to make an SG with P90's sing!
Her modesty and respect is alive and well.
Got some sweet equipment. Nice that she has a purpose with her talent.
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.
Go Grace
She's so adorable.
Natural beauty 😳😳😳💋
🤙🏻
Toca muy bien m gustaría oírla en vivo
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.
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
Most excellent!!!!!! 🎩
This young woman is an old soul
She very much rrminds me of Derek Trucks. Wo the slide . Damn !
Yea girly, you are so badass! I'm from the Bay Area as well. Kinda cool I heard you on KZFR FM.90.1 Chico, California When you come play here, I'm going to your show! Love your style Si*STAR 💕Dream
17? damn… tremendous feel and taste on the guitar already. Really interested to see where she goes with her playing
Brilliant to close her charitable even with "The Weight." How apropos!
