Grace Potter and The Nocturnals are a young, Vermont-based band gaining national attention by selling out tours and stealing hearts of audiences across the nation. The band’s original blend of roots, funky blues, soul, and rock conjures up a nostalgic sound most likely found in a record collection from the sixties and early seventies.

Leading the charge is 25-year-old Grace Potter whose dynamic vocal ability has drawn comparisons to legends Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin and more recently Sheryl Crow and Joan Osborne. Her unique style behind the Hammond B-3 and piano is also gaining widespread recognition. The original lineup included
Scott Tournet (guitar/slide guitar), Matthew Burr (drums/percussion), and Bryan Dondero (upright/electric bass). After Dondero parted ways with the Nocturnals in March 2009, they brought in Catherine Popper (bass) and also added Benny Yurco (rhythm guitar).

They have toured with national acts such as Taj Mahal, Trey Anastasio, Dave Matthews Band, The Black Crowes, Derek Trucks, Gov’t Mule and Robert Cray.

I agree, one of the best shows i've seen live. Unfortunately they're albums don't always seem to do them justice.

"This Is Somewhere" might be the best record I've heard in the last two or three years.

Found these guys when I applied for a job selling merch for an unnamed "nationally touring band" posted on Craigslist... I didn't get the job but I'm glad I found out about these guys. Awesome band. I would've been with them 5/27-bonaroo if I'd gotten that job but instead I'm clearing plates at a restaurant still -_- FML
