With “Creature From The Black Lagoon” playing on the giant movie screen behind her, Grace kicked off the evening with a soulful acoustic guitar version of “Take Me Down To The Water,” followed by an acoustic version of “Ah Mary,” a thinly-veiled critique of the U.S. Empire and the first track of GPN’s most recent release “This Is Somewhere.”
…
Explaining that a Nocturnals trio (Grace, Benny and Matt) was soon heading to London for a series of gigs during their official time off, the band then moved into “Ain’t No Time” from “This Is Somewhere,” playing it as a straight-ahead rocker with some tasty Hammond B organ licks for solo fodder. (Grace confided that the band hadn’t played that one in a year.)

London ? . . well that explains the flying related tweets
a Grace Potter Trio ? . . more info on that would be nice . .
( a la John Mayer Trio maybe ? . . I sure wouldn’t mind something reminiscent of ” Original Soul ” )
I believe the flying tweets relate to the Noc’s trip to San Diego and on to LALA land this week and the next two.
Grace mentioned the London fund raiser trip with Benny and Matt but didnt say when…..can only assume its after LA and before MassMoca show.
“……Grace kicked off the evening with a soulful acoustic guitar version of “Take Me Down To The Water,” …….I always cringe when these journalists cant get the tune’s name right………
London? I hope they manage a trip to the continent, too. More info, please!
