A Peek into 'Roo '11: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

I hadn't heard of the wonderful Grace Potter until this spring while perusing Bonnaroo options. Grace has this tremendous energy, she really does. You can feel said energy pouring, just gushing, into every song. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals most recent album titled, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals is truly such an eclectic, soulful piece of work. The bluesy songstress that is Grace Potter shares an overwhelming vigor and liveliness through the music in which she creates. Grace and the Nocturnals embody a sometimes bluesy, slightly country, a little grungy even,  sound full of sentiment. Not to mention the hint of Joplin in Grace's vocals is to-die-for. The music is extraordinarily well put together. There is a distinct functional balance that is really working for the group. If this capacity of zest can be launched through the speakers of my MacBook, I can't even imagine the vitality of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals live on stage at Great Stage Park.
