Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

they are ok.  i was just listening to mules jazzfest show and though her voice is good and i like their msuci it is a weak voice.  she cracks about every other note but i think that is part of the charm.  like em but far from a favorite.

I might keep you satisfied

Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Amy:  I too am a big Grace & the Nocturnals fan....saw them do an hour at a local blues fest and they just blew me away....contrary to Suhl's opinion, I think she has a great BIG voice and a TON of on-stage (and off) personality.  The band is tight and her Hammond playing is killer too.  Love the whole "Nothing But The Water" CD and a lot of the stuff of the newer CD.  Drop me an email through the link to the left of this post and I might be able to hook you up a live show or two :-)

Saw them open for Gov't Mule last October, she came out during their set and they did an amazing version of "Find The Cost of Freedom > Ohio", great stuff....next night did "Southern Man" which I didn't see but heard.

One of those bands that's good on record but much better live....go see 'em and decide for yourself.

Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

CARLJMD...I love you man!!  You obviously know big voices when you hear them.  I've seen them 3 times now live...in Kansas City, in Lawrence KS, and we just returned from Scottsdale to see them, the Mule, Robert Randalph...what a freaking great day!!  I got to meet Grace and it was a day I will never forget.  She is as gracious and kind as she is beautiful.  I am also going to see them in August for their Waterfront show...can't wait!  They get better and better...be sure and check out their sessions at Sun Studios in Memphis..some new stuff and it is gooood!  I hope to meet you sometime...at a Nocs show or at a Bonamassa show!!  Where are you from??  thanks for the welcome- and I agree...good on record but BEST TO SEE THEM LIVE!!!

and be sure to check out my pics on flickr...I'm not a bragger but there are some really amazing shots from the festival.  smile

Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Hi Amy,
  I'll be seeing Grace in 2 weeks at Mountain Jam. Thats a 3 day festival in upstate N.Y. headlined by Gov't Mule. Some great acts on the bill this year especially looking forward to Levon Helm and can't wait to see Mule again. To bad our man Joe won't be there. Could you imagine him and Warren together......If heartaches were nickles. Well I'll let you know how her set was. By the way--WELCOME to Joes' Forum.

Have fun and good music,
Jack

Rock On and Keep the Faith

Jack Loves Patty Loves Joe

Mountain Jam keeps getting better and better every year...Every year I say I'm going up to Hunter Mountain next year...l think this is the 4th year...
Have you heard Levon's latest album, Dirt Farmer? Powerful, emotional stuff, especially context wise...(Levon's voice is more raspy and weaker from his throat cancer, but still has his special delivery)

Rock On & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Hi Amy,
Just checked out Grace on You Tube and I think she and the band are terrific. Never heard of them before. She has a great voice and I really liked this one

Thanks for the heads up. Can you recommend an album? I'm sure you can.

Tripsy and Ges...AWESOME!!  This is a little band from VT who have been together for a while but are just really starting to gain momentum as a headlining act..they have toured with Mule a lot, with Black Crowes, Dave Mathews...I would recommend Nothing But the Water as far as albums go but honestly, they are just so much better live than their studio stuff that is out there now.  I think they may be putting together another release , there are some rumblings and I'll be sure to keep you posted...very much hoping it will be a live one.  They are  bluesy, big time soul, rock and roll....electrifying to see live as Grace will simply blow you away.  Wish I could be there for Mountain Jam..that would be incredible!!  don't forget..you can find all things NOcturnal on www.thisissomewhere.com...k.cortez who runs the site is incredible at finding any and all that is out there, and generally some really high quality videos and pictures. 

from one MUSIC LOVER to others...I know if you are here you have GREAT taste in music and know talent when you see and hear it...check out Grace Potter and the Nocturnals live if they are coming anywhere near you. 

I loooove love Warren Haynes and I'd kill to see them together....I'd have died and gone to heaven!!  and by the way..why the heck wasn't Joe at Crossroads 2007 in Chicago..can someone please explain this to me???  I was there but Joe was not...how can this beeeeee

MUST SEE!!

Re: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

Great stuff Amy. I think I'll have to settle for a CD though as I very much doubt that they will be playing near me anytime in the near future.

Tripsy cool
