Now that's good news!
LOL.
And if I was organizing some stuff I would grab that Sharon Jones and the
Dap Kings before they get too big. http://womeninrockmusic.blogspot.com/2008/01/sharon-jones-a

Sue, that would be so cool if Grace played at Wanee this year! I can't wait
to see her again next month @ Toad's Place and the Ridgefield Playhouse!
Angela, I read that Grace is playing at Lincoln Center on Feb. 21st. ____________________

| tons of great pictures to go with the music ____________________
< music where the raw emotion flows out of the speakers and touches you
is a gift. To see that music palyed live with others who love it is a
privilege. If you are lucky a song will touch a nerve and make every
person in the room disapear except you

Matt, I found this great review of the show!
‘08 is sure getting off to a great start.
Tuesday brought along my first show of the year - Grace Potter and the
Nocturnals at the Parish, down here at the House of Blues in New Orleans.
And seeing as how BLOWN AWAY I was by the show, it won’t be the last time I
see them this year, for sure.
It was my first GPTN show. Before Tuesday, I only knew This Is Somewhere,
and a few songs off of Nothing But the Water. I had heard a lot of good
things about their live show in the past. A good friend of mine saw them
play with Gov’t Mule, and had nothing but great things to say. But none of
that prepared me for the ass-kicking RAWK of GPTN show.
I got there nice and early, so as to get a really got spot in the room. And
I did, right in front of Grace’s Hammond. It was already shaping up to be a
great night.
Opener Brandi Shearer didn’t go on as planned, which meant that Grace and
the boys came on a little bit earlier. As soon as the band walked on stage,
I was reminded why I’m such a huge fan of live music. There was an
electricity in the crowd that I haven’t felt at any other show in a very
long time. And I got the feeling that this wouldn’t be like any other show
I’ve been to.
They came storming right out of the gate, opening the set with “Here’s to
the Meantime”, “Ah Mary”, and “Mastermind”, all from This Is Somewhere.
Then, they preceded to get a little funky with “Treat Me Right”, before
getting into “Ain’t No Time”, a song that Grace said was written about our
fair city of New Orleans.
But then, it was back into full-on, ass-kicking rock mode, with “Sweet
Hands” and “Joey” from Nothing But the Water. Like I said, before the show,
I only knew This Is Somewhere, and a few songs from Nothing But the Water.
And “Sweet Hands” and “Joey” were not a few of those songs. But as soon as
they started them up, I was rocking out to them, like they were tried and
true favorite songs of mine. Electrifying.
Then, they preceded to blow me away with one of my favorites from This Is
Somewhere, “Big White Gate”. I find the recorded version to be incredibly
moving, and the live version even more so. It’s one thing to hear Grace’s
emotional vocals and guitarist Scott Tournet’s tasty slide playing blaring
through your speakers. But imagine you experienced it live like I did, just
feet from the band. Right in front Grace’s Hammond. Just incredible.
They followed that up with another selection from This Is Somewhere, “Stop
the Bus”. The next three songs they played were all unreleased, and they
included “Sugar”, which Grace said they had only written the night before,
at Sun Studios in Memphis.
They returned to songs from Nothing But the Water with “Ragged Company”.
This was definitely a highlight of the night for me. This has always been
one of my very favorite GPTN songs. And Grace mentioned before the song
that it wasn’t one they played a whole lot, but they got a special request
for it. Seeing as how it was my first time seeing them, and it’s one of my
favorite songs (and I wasn’t the one who requested it!), it was very
awesome timing.
Following “Ragged Company”, they covered “Who Knows”, a Jimi Hendrix tune.
They followed that up with “If I Was From Paris”, an outtake from This Is
Somewhere. They ended the set with “Watching You”, and then FLOORED
everyone in the room with “Nothing But the Water”. They had everyone, and
I mean EVERYONE stomping and clapping, and singing at the top of their
lungs. I have never been a part of such an energized crowd. They left the
stage to absolutely thunderous applause.
For the encore, they came back and, in the spirit of New Orleans, covered
Dr. John’s “Right Place, Wrong Time”. And with that, the show was over.
From the time they walked on the stage, and electrified the crowd with
“Here’s to the Meantime”, to when they blew us all away with “Right Place,
Wrong Time”, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals were ON. There was no doubting
that. Grace just tore it up the entire show with her great organ playing
and amazing vocals. Scott played some of the tastiest licks and riffs I’ve
heard in quite some time, but really rocked it and layed it on thick and
heavy when the song called for it. Bryan Dondero on the bass kept
everything steady and rocking, just like the best bass players should. And
Matt Burr was just an RIDICULOUS behind that drumkit the entire night.
After the show, I got the chance to meet Grace and Scott. Let me tell you,
they couldn’t have been cooler and nicer, or more genuine and
down-to-earth. Really, they’re such great people. It’s one thing to get an
autograph, or shake the hand of a musician that you like. But when
musicians from one of your favorite bands actually takes a few minutes to
meet with you, to talk to you, maybe get a picture or two, it really means
a lot. And you don’t come across that too often.
So if you’re not familiar with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, well, GET
familiar with them. Go buy This Is Somewhere and Nothing But the Water. And
keep listening to them to the point where you think you’re slowing burning
a hole through the CDs themselves, like I am. And check out Original Soul
and Live Oh Five while you’re at it. And just go see them live. You have NO
idea what you are missing out on. I mean, really. NO idea.
Grace, Scott, Bryan, and Matt, thanks so much for an unforgettable
night.
