Local Birmingham music bloggers rate GPN highly here, here,here and here. Looks like a sweep!
If you’re a fan of soulful rock blues with folk influences, then you will not want to miss Grace Potter and the Nocturnals on Saturday. In the last few years they’ve been gaining quite the following throughout the U.S. as a result of the band’s thrilling live performances. Read a few reviews of the band’s performances, and you will often see “one of the best live shows I’ve seen!” along with other lavish praise. Grace Potter is only 25, but her voice belies the old soul she must possess. Grace plays a mean Hammond organ in addition to piano and electric and acoustic guitars… and trust us when we say you’ve never heard an organ sound so sexy.

Like they had any choice. Now one can resist that much groove.

Whether due to Workplay concerts or good marketing contacts -
GPN got very nice coverage from al.com. Believe Mary Colurso does follow ups on City Stages so hopefully there will be more positive press in her column.
Re: the bloggers - hadn’t visited lhb in quite a while - found several GPN mentions in the vast array of goodies - - the others are worth a visit too

I’m thinking the marketing contacts had at least something to do with it right?
Mary reviews the show - sounds like a rough start perhaps . . .

Not a doubt in my mind k.c. - just playing connect the dots.
MC’s full piece is very positive - think she’s a fan.
Nice touch posting the link for “Pain” btw - it’s a great hook (certainly worked on me anyway)

“…Blues rock that defies comparisons to the festival.”
