All around the world, millions of teenagers filled the long days of lockdown shut away in their bedrooms playing guitar, improving day by day and dreaming of rock stardom. One who managed to manifest that into reality is Nashville-based Grace Bowers, the 18-year-old guitar sensation who’s been wowing her peers and her heroes alike with social media videos of herself playing guitar; her own special brand of full-fat funk and blues with a sprinkling of classic rock. She’s very much the real deal.
“My guitar heroes would start commenting on my posts,” she says. “I’ll never forget the day that Brian May commented on one of them. That was when I had to step back and be like, wow, that’s wild. It was kind of crazy how things all just built up so big before we put a single song out.”
