Grace Bowers - Beautiful 8 Minute SRV Solo

[@danmartin633]

Anyone else find tears welling up in their eyes?

[@Neosuburban]

Yes and it's not so much what she plays as how she plays it.

[@fredjohnston4340]

I really do. How did you KNOW?

[@MrPoodleguy]

Definitely!! I’m an 88 yr old who has loved the blues since I was 12. Grace blew the lid off this one!!

[@curtcaudle5900]

My face is leaking 🥲

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

Yes it’s the hay fever

Good golly, Miss Molly, that was unreal.

Taking it somewhere new....and old!

Amazing Grace !

Amazing talent, putting in all the work gigging! 🙌🏼

[@Tommy0Brien-c3w]

Amazing skill set powered by an incredible sense of direction.

[@d-not_telling]

When I see talents like this along with Markus King and Billy Strings, I see hope for the musical future. Beautiful music.

What chops this young lady has at only 17!! ❤❤

[@rudyreyguzman]

There is a hope for modern music

Saw srv in 86,this young lady is bad ass!!! Soooo glad the younger folks still know great music!!!!!

Well done Grace. I love the variations on the riff in "Scuttlebuttin' ".

I never wanted that to end …. 🙌🏽

This is a great showcase of so many things you've learned, managed and accomplished in '23 and '24. And let's hear it for THE PODGE!

Depth and soul... All there. Keep on keeping on, Grace, and more power to you.

Seventeen and so good !! Hope she can keep her head on straight and people treat her well!!8

[@hermannhase6243]

My faith in modern musicians has just come back, this type of music I grew up with; modern musicians are not really my cup of tea until now. Thank you Grace for restoring my faith in what’s to come in the future, stay healthy and safe & keep on rocking.

[@paulwood5803]

Check out a band called The Warning, they too will restore your faith in modern musicians.

[@hermannhase6243]

@@paulwood5803 Thank you Paul, I will give them a lookup 👍

[@TheCalm25]

The mucicians are still coming and going at the same rate as before, it's only that the music companies don't see dollar signs one them so you can't rely on mainstream radio and media to make you aware of them. You gotta dig. It looks like Grace Bowers is bringing a lot of attention to other established musicians that have been around, and even some other young ones, that haven't gotten the mainstream money bath. She's not only fun for regular folk to listen to, but she's really a musician's musician to boot.

[@macatSkye]

She's an amazingly talented kid, wow, a pleasure to watch & listen to her mesmerizing style, riffs, combined with an awesome stage presence, just feels hypnotic❤❤❤

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

[@laurencewhiteley.]

There's some Derek Trucks vibes about some of this...but also wonderfully original

[@DouglasMcLaughlin-kq7hk]

SRV Dipped in Truck's Sauce... Where is she appearing?

[@perttutarvainenp-tunes6924]

Yes! Nights in Harlem... and that´s a proove of great taste and talent. Derek Trucks vibes make any guitarists better👍 She is good!!!

[@jimmykarrera5933]

Wait till she pulls out her slide and wails on it…. Saw trucks back in o4 and he had that slide. So sick. And Grace will do it. I been watching her on Reddit for years and she can do anything!!!

[@1965kid]

Wow!

[@therealawakener7]

People like Grace are resurrecting musicianship and rock / blues music. Long may she live and play. God bless her🙏🏼

[@tratko3150]

I'm hearing bits of Duane Allman, Dickey Betts, Luther Dickinson...not to mention Jimi and SRV...simply remarkable that a 17 year old can assimilate so much diverse music...

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

And Jeff Beck to my mind

[@0xFEEDC0DE]

Came here to say all of this. Was not disappointed.

[@lowellthomson1958]

It's disappointing that in all that blues, the only black guy you heard was Jimi. Maybe you need to listen to more actual blues.

[@bbdraper]

Hendrix too.

[@vankirk11]

Lord please bless and watch over this amazing young lady so we can enjoy and be delighted by her amazing guitar playing for many, many more years to come!!!

[@WisconsinWanderer]

She plays the blues the way she feels it this is not lost on me. This young woman playin makes this old man heart sing.

[@stephenellison2475]

This is AWESOME!!

[@92mrkite]

She literally LIVES her music somewhere between Joe Walsh and Carlos Santana. Just a pure talent.

[@ckallaher]

Such beautiful playing! There’s a bit of Chris Buck to her phrasing, which is about the highest compliment I can give! She doesn’t overplay; she gives the music room to breathe. Looking forward to many more years of awesome playing to come.

[@johnny_geo]

Yes, I hear @chrisbuck too early on!

[@KevinMerinoCreations]

WOW! Love the rendition of "Lenny" and SRV highlights. Grace and the band show their skills for sure! 👏👏👏

[@brucedelaney9606]

There’s a new king in town. Or should I say queen. Very impressive Grace.

[@truebluemike]

Good Gracious ! Keep going Gracie .. keep REAL MUSIC that you can feel ALIVE.

My eyes got heavy and I think I nodded off for a minute. peaceful like. Then you woke me up and ka bloooie I'm all wrapped around what's going on.

[@knastera]

I love how the vocalist is just enjoying this.

[@PaulLGuitar007]

It's amazing how her tonal delivery can invoke so many emotions in just 1 song!!!!

[@brianmihailovich9520]

I've been taking lessons for about 2 months and I've only been messing with the guitar for maybe 6 altogether, if I can even get to be half as good as this little girl here I'll be a very happy guy. This girl is fantastic. I'd love to see her and Mr. Taj farrant duet together...... keep it up girl!!!!!!! Your gonna be a real legend some day. Remember the name y'all grace bowers ladies and gents is here!!!!

[@FunkThompson]

Kid can play. Sheesh. And I love, in several videos, the folks in the background alternately in ecstasy or awe.

[@TheGuitarHistorian]

God damn this girl can play.

[@steveedwards9451]

I'm enjoying Ester's enjoyment. Grace is amazing. She got herself a fine backing band too.

Fantastic - so good to see a new generation playing this stuff... I'd love to see you share a stage with Kingfish... That would be sonic heaven!

[@timporter6112]

I love this girl...she is going to murder it!

[@MrPoodleguy]

I’ve been following Grace ever since she came on the scene. Her version of SRV’s “Lenny” is soooo good - she brought tears to my eyes!!!

[@AnkurWow]

Her confidence, composure, and command keep improving... I really hope she's taking voice lessons and fronts her own band some day in the tradition of her heroes.

[@scottklandl488]

Why? Why ? Why? She is already fronting her own band

[@AnkurWow]

@@scottklandl488 Thanks for asking. Hendrix didn’t originally sing either and was content being a guitarist, but then their singer didn’t show up in one of his first solo studio sessions so he had to sing, and the rest is history. Her heroes also literally are guitarist/singers. I just gave you two good reasons. Plus, she has a nice speaking voice and some soul obviously, which usually translates to a good singing voice, and especially in blues. That’s three good reasons now. Thank you again for asking.

[@richietownsend6737]

Instrumental music is cool, too. There are more than enough words out there. It’s nice to hear stories told with instruments. ☮️☮️

[@jysmtl]

Jimi, Eric, SRV, Bonnamasa, Knopfler, many more worked at it until they were good singers, or really guitarists who sing.

[@papadavewatson]

Voice lessons don't make a person into a singer.

[@MrBonzoMan]

Wow!!!! 'Rocking the roof off' !!! Incredible skill and expression! A superb live performance with 110% confidence! 😎

Amazing. Her command over the guitar, her feel. I haven't heard such a soulful guitarist, Instant fan ❤

[@richardvaladez3288]

Amazing Grace! I'll say this Ms Bowers, your passion for life shows everytime you plug that guitar in. You're truly a talented person and what sets you apart is your desire to create and that feel you have. Eric Clapton once described soloing as figuring out his boxes and then use his guitar as his voice..or sings with his guitar. I see you doing the same thing. 🙂 Excellent!! Rock on Grace!!!

[@PneumaticTube]
