Grace Potter
Grace Potter is a Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and internationally acclaimed rock musician from Waitsfield, Vermont. She formed Grace Potter & the Nocturnals in 2002 and toured extensively. After signing with major record label Hollywood Records, Potter and her band went on to release four full-length studio albums: Nothing But The Water (2006), This is Somewhere (2007), Grace Potter and the Nocturnals (2010), and The Lion The Beast The Beat (2012), with the latter two both debuting in the Top 20 of the Billboard charts. Potter also duetted with country singer Kenny Chesney on the Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling hit “You and Tequila” in 2010.
Potter has played every major US music festival, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo, and shared the stage with legendary artists such as The Rolling Stones, Willie Nelson, and Mavis Staples. Her 2015 album, Midnight, was released to critical acclaim, debuting at #17 on the Billboard 200 chart. Potter released her latest album Daylight (Fantasy) in 2019, garnering two Grammy nominations for Best Rock Album, and Best Rock Performance.
The follow-up to Daylight, Potter's new album Mother Road marks the start of a thrilling new era of a career that’s included turning out seven acclaimed albums, sharing the stage with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, and the Allman Brothers Band, and playing nearly every major music festival (in addition to launching her own festival, Burlington’s Grand Point North). Over the course of its 10 larger-than-life tracks, the album fuses elements of soul, blues, country, and timeless rock-and-roll with masterful abandon, thanks to the vibrant musicianship of Potter and her collaborators.
