Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are trying something new on their summer 2009 tour– no denim on stage.

It’s an interesting new exploration for us,” Potter jokes over the phone. “We all have denim so we are scrambling around.”

You should know: Potter’s described Medicine, her forthcoming album, as ” Velvet Underground backing Aretha Franklin.”

“One Short Night” @ Bonnaroo

I’ve heard this three different ways now - clearly still getting worked out live. Very much in the “songs instead of jams” vein.

Here’s the link. I spoke to the taper “JT/NY” after the show and thanked him for all the work he puts into this. It’s a mutual appreciation society - the tapers thank the bands who allow them to do the thing they enjoy.

“There’s something deeper to this record,” she says. “You can crawl into these songs and live in them. That’s what T Bone does. That’s what he creates. He creates imagery and gorgeous sounds. Our fans are going to hear that. There’s a more controlled, slightly more serious heartbeat.
“We’re a very light-hearted [...]
