Even if you’re not into the jamband-rock or music festival scene — which she seems to be the new First Lady of — you’re crazy if you’re not excited about sexy-Southern-rock band Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, headlining at Revolution Music Room this Sunday, May 22.
This woman and her band are so hot — and we don’t just mean popular, either — she and her band were chosen to cover “White Rabbit” on Tim Burton’s soundtrack for the “Alice In Wonderland” remake last year, and she even was selected by an upscale chocolate maker to have a new chocolate bar named after her (it’s called Grace Under Fire and contains dark chocolate, pistachios and red pepper flakes!).
After opening for and touring with the likes of the Dave Matthews Band, the Black Crowes and Gov’t Mule over the past several years, now Grace Potter & the Nocturnals are festival darlings, playing such major events as Bonnaroo and selling out their own major shows all over the country, wowing packed houses everywhere — including recently at nearby Minglewood Hall in Memphis.
A favorite of David Letterman, the band and its songs have been featured on nearly a dozen TV shows, most notably the tunes “Apologies” and “Falling & Flying,” featured on everything from “All My Children,” and “One Tree Hill” to “Grey’s Anatomy.”
Now, the sassy, gritty, glam-girl-Southern-rock tune “Paris (Ooh La La)” off their new self-titled album is impressing critics and fans alike since its video debut last summer on Hulu and its explosion as the biggest TV soundtrack song of the year.
Don’t miss Grace Potter & The Nocturnals at their Revolution Music Room debut performance this Sunday, May 22! Opening will be Futurebirds and Gary Clark Jr.
The show is open to ages 18 and up; doors open at 6:30 and the show starts at 7:30 — early enough for everybody who’s still gotta work on Monday!
Tickets are $20 — a steal for an act this hot and of this caliber! — and are on sale now at www.revroom.com. For info, call 823-0090.
