Born in Waitsfield, VT, Grace Potter grew up in a family that encouraged her artistic pursuits in areas from music to theater, the latter of which she was studying at St. Lawrence University when drummer Matt Burr heard her singing at an open-mike night in 2002 and asked if she would form a band with him. She declined, but when her high-school friend and bass player Courtright Beard enrolled in their college, she reconsidered the invitation, and the three of them began to write and perform jazz-influenced songs, Potter also taking duties on the Hammond B-3. Soon, guitarist Scott Tournet joined, and the bandmembers, calling themselves Grace Potter & the Nocturnals -- thanks to their late-night practice habits -- began to think seriously about making music their careers. When Burr graduated in 2003, they decided to move back to Vermont to some land that Potter's parents owned and dedicate themselves more fully to their craft, replacing Beard (who chose to stay at school) with Bryan Dondero in the process. In 2004 they self-released their debut, Original Soul, receiving positive response and comparisons to artists like Norah Jones and early Bonnie Raitt. This in turn garnered major-label offers, but the band preferred to build its fan base by constant touring and festival appearances. Word of their electric performance spread, and shortly after their second album, Nothing But the Water -- also self-released -- came out in 2005, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals signed to Hollywood Records, with their third full-length, This Is Somewhere, hitting shelves nationwide in August 2007. In 2010, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals was released; Hollywood pulled out all the stops in order to break the band internationally. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi
Grace Potter is a fantastically talented musician, and puts on an amazing show. This was the best concert we’ve been to in years.
What a show! Grace is 100% Authentic Rock and Roll. Her energy was contagious and captivating. All shows should be this entertaining!
Great vocals, musicianship, and entertainment! Grace was engaging and added humor.
She was everything you want. Badass musicality, performance art, insane vocals, and inspiration in one performance. Grace is a musical icon.
Grace Potter has such an amazing voice. I went on a whim and would now catch her any chance I have.
Great venue, Great vibes, Grace Potter is an amazing performer.
Grace and her band were dynamic; energetic, tight. Sound was so so. Couldn't understand the lyrics as vocals, while loud were muddy. We were seated center stage in the balcony.
I had never seen her before or even heard of her. Bought myself a ticket and absolutely loved it. She performed great and put on a very entertaining show. I'd see her again if the opportunity arises.
This was a highly energetic and enthusiastic performance. Few artists know how to interact with the crowd and put in an enthusiastic covert like Grace.
Fantastic show as always- she really has a loyal fanbase- everyone was singing along with her new album that just came out! (She is so multi-talented, in a righteous world, she'd be selling out Stadiums in place of Taylor Swift!)
