To see the photos, click here  Grace Potter took her rock and roll roadshow to Lancaster, PA.  I had seen Grace Potter only once before when I saw them open for Gov’t Mule in D.C. fall of last year.  She had been around playing for a while and had been playing on the WXPN radio station with her “Nothing But the Water” CD but really picked airplay when she released her “This Is Somewhere” CD by playing her singles “Ah Mary” and “Stop The Bus”. While Grace’s Cds are great listening, her live performances shadow them by far in my opinion.  Her pitch perfect bluesy voice really comes to life in real life and her band, the Nocturnals, have a lot more room to improvise and jam off one another.  Their cover of The Rolling Stones “Paint It Black” was a rocking great way to end the set and then closed the night with a sobering “Big White Gate” which is a stunning and uplifting song that she wrote just after her grandmother had passed away.  Grace and the band have come a long way in the last few years much in part due to Warren Haynes support and taking them on tour with Gov’t Mule it was well deserved and quite frankly amazing they are not HUGELY popular yet.  Excellent band! To top all of it off, the opening band Hoots and Hellmouth was an awesome opening band that got a great reaction from the crowd.  Great night of music! Grace Potter and the Nocturnal’s setlist for the night was: Treat Me Right Sweet Hands Stop The Bus Ah Mary Ain’t No Time Apologies Over Again Nothing But The Water > Rory Sugar Paint It Black (Rolling Stones Cover) Encore: If I Was From Paris Joey Big White Gate
