- Beverly Watkins plays a mean blues guitar, and that's putting it mildly. Over six decades of performing, the 77-year-old has opened for Ray Charles, James Brown, BB King and other legendary musicians. She's one of the greatest female blues guitarists, and still plays local gigs in Atlanta. Keep on jamming Beverly!
Update: It is with a heavy heart that we share Beverly Watkins passed away at the age of 80 on October 1, 2019.

Blues like this could unite us all, if so many of us weren't distracted by foolish beliefs.
She died a day before my birthday :C
"I cleaned houses, worked at car washes, I cleaned offices..." something just ain't right here.
Music has no age
She plays a Fender Squier? She deserves better than that. Or maybe it actually stays in tune, unlike the piece of crap my buddy has.
+mpriveass I have two Squires a Telecaster and a Strat and I also have Fenders and Gibson's but I wouldn't trade my Squires for nothing man. If he bought the bottom end Squire then he's asking for trouble. the Classic Vibe series are great IMHO. Take care and keep on strumming bro.
tenodogblu Must have been one of the bottom end models. It wouldn't even stay in tune during normal playing.
That's probably it because as I mentioned i love my Squiers and you can only speak as you find my fiend, take care,
