Born in Waitsfield, VT, Grace Potter grew up in a family that encouraged her artistic pursuits in areas from music to theater, the latter of which she was studying at St. Lawrence University when drummer Matt Burr heard her singing at an open-mike night in 2002 and asked if she would form a band with him. She declined, but when her high-school friend and bass player Courtright Beard enrolled in their college, she reconsidered the invitation, and the three of them began to write and perform jazz-influenced songs, Potter also taking duties on the Hammond B-3. Soon, guitarist Scott Tournet joined, and the bandmembers, calling themselves Grace Potter & the Nocturnals -- thanks to their late-night practice habits -- began to think seriously about making music their careers. When Burr graduated in 2003, they decided to move back to Vermont to some land that Potter's parents owned and dedicate themselves more fully to their craft, replacing Beard (who chose to stay at school) with Bryan Dondero in the process. In 2004 they self-released their debut, Original Soul, receiving positive response and comparisons to artists like Norah Jones and early Bonnie Raitt. This in turn garnered major-label offers, but the band preferred to build its fan base by constant touring and festival appearances. Word of their electric performance spread, and shortly after their second album, Nothing But the Water -- also self-released -- came out in 2005, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals signed to Hollywood Records, with their third full-length, This Is Somewhere, hitting shelves nationwide in August 2007. In 2010, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals was released; Hollywood pulled out all the stops in order to break the band internationally. ~ Marisa Brown, Rovi

Seeing Grace in such an intimate setting, where she can be free to play and say what ever is on her mind, was incredible. And Garcia's is THE new place in Chicago to see a show. The combination of artist and venue made this a once in a life time experience. Looking forward to many more concerts with Grace and seeing more shows at Garcia's!
Great 1st time experience seeing someone of her Stature at The Stone Pony. I have only been to local artists concerts at Stone Pony. Grace Potter was on fire and her performance was Amazing, eccentric, captivating not to mention her flawless vocals. To witness an artist really enjoying their own experience and connection with the audience is what we only hope to experience and she indeed gave us that and then some. I definitely will see Grace again in the future.
Grace Potter and her band rocked the Brooklyn Bowl for its 15th Anniversary! Great throwback setlist full of fan favorites!
This was a fantastic venue to see an amazing artist! Easy to get to, not a bad view in the house, and not overly crowded!
Grace and her opener Boyfriend was my favorite performance of the whole Jazz Fest experience! I love the energy!
Grace was on fire at the Orpheum last Friday night. A big Grace Potter fan and also a Samantha Fish fan. Those 2 together made my night.
Grace Potter is EPIC, and this Tina Turner tribute show was something truly extraordinary.
Absolutely fantastic! I would go see any time. She deserves more attention
Grace Potter front row center at the historic Orpheum New Orleans are you kidding me AND doing a Tina Turner tribute with special guest, YOU know it’s going to be a night to remember! I have been to tons of concerts over the years and at various locations NONE topped the energy that was on display by Grace, she was on fire from the first note to the last-oh La La indeed….. Throw in Samantha Fish, Trombone Shorty and Kingfish to name a few special guest and it was party on! I
Order Grace Potter tickets and the show was great. No issues with moving tickets to wallet and easy entry to concert
