When this show originally aired a couple years ago, it was the first visit for Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, and we were all collectively blown away by this amazing group. Based in Burlington, VT, they are an interesting collection of musicians, fronted by one of the best singers I’ve ever heard. I mean, seriously. I am not kidding. We have had a ton of great singers on the show, and will continue to do so, don’t get me wrong. But she’s right up there with Janis Joplin. (A little bit of eTown trivia: Grace was sicker than a dog the day we did this show. I wondered if she’d be able to sing at all! But at sound check that afternoon, she just threw her head back and wham! Didn’t miss a note. Wow. Gives me goose bumps to think back on it. I knew then that I was witnessing a truly incredible talent.)
