| Grace Potter & The Nocturnals |
Grace Potter & the Nocturnals’ self-made 2005 debut album, Nothing but the Water
revealed a musically sophisticated young band inspired by the music of
the late ’60s/early ’70s and fronted by a then-21-year-old dynamo whose
nuanced singing, organ playing and songwriting belied her age. The
follow-up, 2007’s This Is Somewhere,
confirmed that the band had no interest in following trends but was
instead in pursuit of timeless expression as it forged its identity. On
2010’s self-titled third album, GPN, toughened by a half decade of
nonstop roadwork, flexed their rock ’n’ roll muscles and confirmed that
they were in it for the long haul.
Now, seven years after hitting the radar, GPN take an exponential leap with the widescreen opus The Lion The Beast The Beat
(Hollywood, June 12, 2012). With this musically combustible and
conceptually dazzling work, the Vermont-based band forcefully takes its
place alongside the best of its peers while building on the rich legacy
of its inspirations. During this a la carte age, Grace Potter & the
Nocturnals have boldly pushed against the current, making a bona fide
album that demands to be heard in its entirety . . . not that its 11
songs don’t utterly beguile on their own. “This album is really a
different animal than our previous records—no pun intended,” says
Potter.
“I
think what people love about us is the energy we generate playing
together and feeding off each other,” says guitarist Scott Tournet.
“There’s a lot of drive in our band, and we managed to capture that on
this record. We love the music that we cut our teeth on and it’ll always
be part of us, but we’ve reached the point where we’re consciously
trying to push things forward.”
The Lion The Beast The Beat
represents a rite of passage for a band that is knocking on the door of
greatness. “This process was more painstaking than on any other record
we’ve made; a complete labor of love and hate. I credit the Nocturnals
for courageously jumping off that cliff with me,” Potter acknowledges.
“We all took a risk and I hope that resonates when people hear the
album.”
Currently, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals are on the road opening for Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw as part of their “Brothers of the Sun” tour and on Saturday night, July 21, Grace wowed the Colorado audience at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
Grace is featured on Chesney’s song "You and Tequila."
She was Chesney's first choice to collaborate with and the day after he
sent Grace his version of "You and Tequila" she called to say, "Make it
happen."
