the return of the Gibson SG in capable hands of artists like Grace & Judith Hill - so good!

[@kengrimsley4172]

The future of blues guitar. She has amazing melodic sensibility, and lightning in a bottle flurries. From every interview I've ever seen, also just a humble, super nice young lady. I hope to get to sit down and play a couple w her someday!

[@beachcomber4141]

OK SHE is awesome. Just discovering Grace Bowers and she is shaping up to be one of the baddest cats out there!

[@mattdelany6799]

Check out Tory Slusher. A real guitar player.

[@glenngarver687]

This young Lady is going places Fast! I hope she is surrounded by good people who watch out for her well being as she becomes famous. I’d like to see her Grace on stage with Grace Potter, or Ann & Nancy ( Heart) ❤ I think little Grace would fit like a hand in a glove! Good Luck, 🍀 🎉

[@ckallaher]

Every time I see a Grace Bowers clip I want to get a wah pedal. She has such a deep feel for the instrument. I can’t wait to see what she will be doing as her career and musical experience build. She’s still just a kid!

[@DannerPlace]

This young woman is an ARTIST. She will go far...

[@robertkoehler1641]

She rocked the place. Great job Grace. This video is saved to my favorites.

[@awolfman2]

Holy shit! She is awesome.

Demais essa loira toca divinamente a muito tempo que não vejo uma guitarrista tocar assim com o coração estou encantado com Grace Bowers parabéns querida quero te ver no Brasil.

Happy belated BD. We share the same BD. I'm old, old, old. Have a great, long, and safe musical life!!

[@tomworden304]

This noise is music to my ears.

[@sanoj1969]

I’m Grateful that there is younger generations that will push forward this kind of music style . She will be a big name over the world in this genre I’m sure of that. ❤❤❤

[@jimm1387]

Agreed I'm just grateful to see someone young excel at an instrument these days

​@@Pimp-MasterYou sound like a miserable old man, jealousy is all I see in your comments.

​@Pimp-Master Some jealousy going here I think. She's 17! Just imagine what's she like at 20! Kick your ass.

[@dennyclosser8456]

She’s gonna do nothing but get better and better and better. She’ll be flying all over those Frht before we know it. She’s already got the chops. It’s good to see such young talent out there! And a beauty too.

[@jokermaan1]

If a young guy came along with a precocious talent would you end by saying, 'And a devilishly handsome young fella too'? Course you wouldn't

[@stevenrichardson4659]

She is a beauty and a great guitarist. You stick to your handsome men.

[@Po1itica11yNcorrect]

Nice to see an artist using a Mesa Boogie California Tweed.

You sound jealous because you are. This girl is killer!

[@Elise10000]

Thank you so much for sharing this on your channel. I stumbled upon Grace when she was about 13 (just a few years ago) on Reddit, relaxed and playing blues riffs out of her bedroom, she occasionally looking at comments, I don’t think she said anything, me one of a few or dozens tuning in. I loved finding her there. I think she was in NorCal at that time, now in Nashville and playing gigs. This is one of my favorite uploads and I live vicariously through her, as she blows audience away. Belated Happy 17th Grace.

[@robertkoehler1641]

100% agree. I've followed her for less time, but wow, she is so impressive. Love the way she hammers out this Zappa song. This riff is forever in my head.

[@ericfaley9019]

This young lady has it.

[@johannesswarts1440]

Woman's got it!!! She's got nowhere to go but up - brilliant talent! Gonna be watching her over the coming years...

[@maureenochse1286]

I missed seeing her and regret it, she is fantastic and we share the same birthday! 17 years old? Incredible 💥❤❣💯

[@aggit8]

Old soul. Most young girls aren’t drawn to this but boy she is. I’m a new fan for sure.

[@xoxb2]

Excellent. Love the tone.

She and Taj Farrant have GOT to get together some day...they would be the perfect Ying/Yang of the Blues and they both don't were shoes!

[@randmeller]

She made a comment on another video that she pkayed with "Taj". I thought she meant Taj Mahal...but could be Taj Farrant.

[@mustangmikep51]

[@RoelandDeGroot]

while we are all in awe of Grace, I like to mention that she always has a pretty great bass player on stage. 👍 PS: Rory's Strat is up for grabs, just saying 😉

[@prestonbrown5771]

wow Grace such pure tone and technique . maybe jimmy came back in a 17 yr old girl just saying rock it out girl

[@rogerspalding5673]

Nice Hendrix. Band of Gypsies. The power trio played at my college in the early 1970's. The vinyl from the Fillmore concert is a collectors item.

[@wabbadu1]

This band is going to blow up this summer. As far as I know, they're backed by Gibson Guitars.. so I think their first album should be very well produced. I can't wait to see how they evolve through the years.

[@andrewwhitteker4227]

If I was 16 I would be after her like a doberman on a gut pile! Damn she is talented, I'm sure we will be listening to her great music for years to come and she will only get better.

[@bobthompson8966]

It's a jimi hendrix tune called "who knows." The way her version vacillates between between a funky groove and Kaos is not un-jimi. Listen to the original and then her version a couple of times and you might find it grows on you.

[@nicholasbradford8976]

If you listen to the Hendrix version of this first unfortunately all other versions don’t work

[@wonkastudio-johnny]

hey this is really groovin music ! nice jam....

[@diegothehammer]

Great stuff!

[@laurentldoldi840]

Awesome!

[@philchristensen2787]

Grace rocks! Fun to see her on the Newport stage where Dylan blew off the doors 58 years ago.😉

[@Anglo-Saxon-Patriot]

What an incredible combination, beauty and talent, and at such a young age. Grace deserves every success imaginable as she can only get better and better over the coming years. She already makes my 40 odd years as a blues musician fade into insignificance. Brilliant !

[@GNTRR]

Thanks for your sharing, enjoyed listening and watching to your wonderful live performance!! Have a nice day! New Sub!!!

[@billrobinson9308]

Grace will be one of the greats once she knows that neck look out ! Tone is on point !

What tone? However, she does like people who did have tone.

There is a couple interviews on KZbin. Lots of clips of her now. She blossomed during lockdowns she mentioned during interview. Started playing at 9. Started playing more Blues then. She can Jam that's for sure.

When I take a short look at the decadent audience, I must say, that Grace is the only nicely clad human being around.

I hope she gave Frank Zappa credit for that lick willy the pimp is a very cool song.

[@Velolab]

She's playing Who Know's by Jimi Hendrix/Band of Gypsys.

[@SteveG123]

Sky is the limit for Grace. She didn't get as good as she is by loafing around. The talent plus the work ethic is what you need.

[@meself349]

Also she can get pretty good mileage out of just being a hottie even if her chops aren't that good, right?

[@clayjeffries3901]

please dont go onstage barefoot. i recall an up and coming artist got electricuted i forget her name but it is very risky
