@blueser A friend sent me this link a few days ago and when I saw this on the ABB site, the name seemed familiar so I found it and just played it the first time. Apparently she is 17.

Grace learned this for Dickey's 80th birthday!! Good for her.  17 and learning this. She was born in 2006. Dickey was out of the ABB by 2006 but she discovered B. B. King while she didn't know the blues and had not heard the blues and was heavily into Slash and AC-DC and was in love with "Highway to Hell" She became attracted to the blues and learned some B.B. King tunes. 

This is for Dickey!!

 Grace obviously has great management. She is getting a ton of press

without having any product out whatsoever.

@darylm Yes she is sitting in with noted people and doing some gigs and has NEVER put out an album. 

But she is very young. Someone to watch.

Neither did young Taz. Neither did young Tal Wilkenfeld. Derek was sitting in with bands and touring for years before he put out an album at 18. Same goes for Stevie and Aretha when they were young. They all happen to be very talented.

Playing music isn't about "product" it's about having fun with people you enjoy making music with. Sometime that includes encouraging young musicians, which is pretty much what Butch and Oteil's Roots Rock camp is all about.
