Grace Bowers

Grace Bowers is an 18-year-old, award-winning guitarist, singer/songwriter and bandleader who is undisputedly on a meteoric rise. Her debut album, Wine On Venus, was produced by John Osborne (Brothers Osborne), released independently and garnered widespread acclaim, Forbes praised it as, “an infectious, joyous party” and Rolling Stone calling Bowers “Nashville’s new guitar hero.”

Bowers cut her teeth playing in dive bars, inspired by the blues of B.B. King as well as the soulful funk of Sly And The Family Stone. Her breakout moment came when videos of her playing guitar on social media went viral during the pandemic. She has since become one of the most in-demand and celebrated young guitarists, and an inspiration to a whole new generation of women around the world.

Bowers performed at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards with Chris Martin of Coldplay and at Love Rocks NYC with Peter Frampton and Trey Anastasio at the Beacon Theater. She was awarded the Variety Next Gen award at their annual Hitmakers event in Los Angeles. She also made her late-night television debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” was featured on “CBS Mornings,” “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” and NPR’s “All Things Considered,” and toured with The Red Clay Strays, Gary Clark Jr., Slash and The Roots. She has further headlined sold out shows in Japan, New York City, Los Angeles and beyond. She has also appeared at prominent festivals such as Bourbon & Beyond, Telluride Blues and Brews, Bottlerock, Sea.Hear.Now., Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival and “Let Freedom Sing” Nashville’s 4th of July concert.

Bowers won Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2024 Americana Music Association Honors & Awards, made her Grand Ole Opry debut on her eighteenth birthday, and was named a U.S. Global Music Ambassador by the U.S. Department of State and YouTube’s Global Music Diplomacy Initiative. She also performed alongside Dolly Parton on CBS, joined Lainey Wilson as part of CBS’ New Year’s Eve Live celebration, and been sought after by everyone from Tyler Childers and Susan Tedeschi to Remi Wolf, Mt. Joy and All-American Rejects. She is perhaps most proud of raising $30,000 with her 2nd Annual “Grace Bowers & Friends” benefit show, $15,000 of which was donated to MusiCares®.
