 moreBorn in Waitsfield, Vermont, Grace Potter grew up in a family that
encouraged her artistic pursuits in areas from music to theater, the latter of
which she was studying at St. Lawrence University when drummer Matt Burr heard
her singing at an open-mike night in 2002 and asked if she would form a band
with him. She declined, but when her high school friend and bass player
Courtright Beard enrolled in their college, she reconsidered the invitation, and
the three of them began to write and perform jazz-influenced songs, with Potter
also taking up duties on the Hammond B-3. Soon, guitarist Scott Tournet joined,
and the bandmembers, calling themselves Grace Potter & the Nocturnals -- thanks
to their late-night practice habits -- began to think seriously about making
music their careers. When Burr graduated in 2003, they decided to move back to
Vermont to some land that Potter's parents owned and dedicate themselves more
fully to their craft, replacing Beard (who chose to stay at school) with Bryan
Dondero in the process.

In 2004 they self-released their debut, Original Soul, receiving positive
response and comparisons to artists like Norah Jones and early Bonnie Raitt.
This in turn garnered major-label offers, but the band preferred to build its
fan base with constant touring and festival appearances. Word of their electric
performances spread, and shortly after their second album, Nothing But the Water
-- also self-released -- came out in 2005, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals signed
to Hollywood Records. Their third full-length, This Is Somewhere, hit shelves
nationwide in August 2007. In 2010, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals was released;
Hollywood pulled out all the stops in order to break the band internationally.
Over the next year-and-a-half, they toured incessantly, releasing a four-song
Christmas EP, a live album in the U.K., and a digital download-only set recorded
live at the Fillmore. Potter's duet with Kenny Chesney, "You and Tequila," was
nominated for Single of the Year Vocal Collaboration at the American Country
Awards, and the pair performed it at the CMA Awards. In June of 2012, a new
studio album, The Lion the Beast the Beat, by Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, was
released. Peaking at 17 on the Billboard 200, The Lion the Beast the Beat
received the most attention of any Nocturnals record yet released, but Potter
decided to go solo for her next album, 2015's Midnight. Produced by Eric
Valentine, who also co-wrote many of the songs, the album appeared in August of
2015.

By the time she returned to the studio to cut another album with Valentine the
pair were married, a transition chronicled on 2019's emotionally charged
Daylight. On that record, she wrote about the official breakup of the
Nocturnals, a divorce, a marriage, and the birth of her first child.

Potter released a pair of comforting singles, "We'll Be Alright" and
"Eachother," during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020; the latter featured vocals by
Jackson Browne, Marcus King, and Lucius. By the time she started work on her
next album, Potter and her family relocated to her home state of Vermont, a
journey documented on her 2023 album Mother Road, which was produced by
Valentine. © Marisa Brown
