Grace Potter & Nocturnals Rule!

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals wowed the crowd Saturday night at the Narrows with her R & B soaked take on rock 'n roll Vermont-style. She's normally playing the organ, but up above she shakes her moneymaker with her bandmates (the bass player was hurt earlier in the week and couldn't make the gig, so they played as a trio).

But down below she's clearly enjoying herself behind the keys.




















Seth Richardson, who drove up from VA to do the gig, opened the show.















Thanks to all who attended! We had a great crowd, and were able to lower our $3,000 deficit by nearly $300, thanks to the generosity of attendees who contributed to our pass the hat.

Grace and the crew were planning to head back to Vermont after the show, a 5 hour drive or so. Ah, youth!

Before they left, though, your humble blogger apparently wowed them with the story of Lizzie Borden while munching on a cookie offered by Grace in the parking lot after the equipment load out.

One of the band members--who shall remain nameless--has a strong interest in serial killers. Of course, Lizzie was never convicted and even if she did the deeds she wouldn't be in the same league as Ted Bundy. But the mystery remains and still intrigues.

But your blogger digresseth....

We had a great time at The Narrows last night. Grace Potter and The Nocturnals are fantastic - the third time I've seen them in two weeks and already looking at the tour schedule to see when I can catch them again.

We love The Narrows and can't wait to go back again.

Here are some pics I took last night of Grace and the boys.
