“I’m deeply uncomfortable with the amount of old men here. I’m no longer interested in playing blues or whatever the hell keeps attracting y’all”: Grace Bowers has quit YouTube over the number of “old ass creeps”

Grace Bowers at Resonator Awards presented by We Are Moving The Needle on January 27, 2026 in Los Angeles, California.

Grace Bowers has quit YouTube, citing her discomfort at the demographic of her audience on the video sharing platform.

Bowers shot to six-string stardom a few years back, and in 2024 was voted by Guitar World readers as one of the standout guitarists of the year. In that year alone, she debuted on Jimmy Kimmel, released a record, covered SRV’s Lenny and Scuttle Buttin, and dropped a cover of Led Zeppelin’s Going to California.
