It's not Auditeer material, but my god... Grace Potter and The Nocturnals
were flat out AMAZING last night. Picture a young band weaned on early Rod
Stewart albums (maybe Allman Brothers and Black Crowes albums?)fronted by a
girl who is reminiscent of Joplin and Bonnie Raitt...plus she plays a
Hammond B3...AND she's a knockout? They're as adept at a low-key unplugged
(voice and lap steel, acapella, whatever) as they are at a Stonesy rocker, a
gospel workout or an anthemic jam band version of "Cortez The Killer" (which
was the second encore)...Grace is 24 years old and has "star" written all
over her, but don't short-sell that band - they ROCK. Plus what fun to see a
band, still embryonic and growing, still reading each other's cues to
stretch something an extra 16 bars when it gets humming...wow!
Do NOT miss this show. They're out opening for Gvmt Mule but I was fortunate
enough to see a 2 hour club show instead of a 40 minute opening set. Try
these on - and as good as these clips are, NONE of them capture what that
band did last night...
