ArTiSt: GrACE PoTTeR aNd tHe NoCtURnALs
GenRe: RoCk wiTh SouL
This Is Somewhere (Ragged Company/ Hollywood Records) marks the coming of age of the young, Vermont-based rock band Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. To say that this album makes good on the band’s immense promise would be an understatement. While these assertions quite naturally invite skepticism, I respond: “just insert and press 'play'.”
The album manifests incredible growth in the writing and singing of 24-year-old phenomenon Grace Potter, who has clearly found her true voice in both respects, as well as the instrumental prowess of the band: Potter on the Hammond B3, guitarist Scott Tournet, bassist Bryan Dondero and drummer Matt Burr. On this remarkable record, they make a glorious racket indeed.
The band’s timeless, organic brand of American rock & roll is fully in evidence throughout their album "This Is Somewhere."
Grace Potter and the Nocturals will be performing @ the Greek Theatre May 11 2008 @ 5:30PM in Los Angeles.
