<blockquote>. . . the scenario I just described above is preparing to happen to Vermont’s own Grace Potter and The Nocturnals. Maybe not to the level of success as that of DMB; but -- I’m no mind reader, and I won’t short change the band by suggesting it’s impossible. But frankly, I’m not sure that The Dave Matthews kind of music industry success exists, now. However, as sure as we all were, that day in the Virginia sunshine, Grace and her band are headed for something far bigger.

Tonight’s free show at Richmond’s Brown’s Island was no ‘Town Point Park,’ mind you. But for the band that -- almost comically – was named one of Rolling Stone’s Best New Bands of 2010, (despite playing 200 shows a year since forming in 2004,) that show is coming. It’s just a question of when. Recent appearances on Ellen, an upcoming performance on Good Morning America, and the June 8th drop of their third major label release, the self-titled ‘Grace Potter and The Nocturnals,’ have this band on the brink. And if this night’s performance were any indication, they are ready for the next step. In spades.</blockquote>
