Grace Potter & The Nocturnals

Grace Potter & The Nocturnals achieved commercial success and critical recognition, establishing themselves as a prominent rock band through extensive touring and studio releases. After gaining significant traction through extensive independent touring, performing up to 200 shows annually, and early radio airplay on Vermont Adult Album Alternative stations WNCS and WEBK, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals secured a contract with Hollywood Records in December 2005. The band’s debut independent album, Nothing but the Water, originally recorded in 2005, was subsequently re-released by Hollywood Records on May 23, 2006. This period also saw them earn the Jammy Award for ‘Best New Groove’ in 2006.

In June 2015, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals received the ‘ASCAP Harry Chapin Vanguard Award’ from World Hunger Year in recognition of their philanthropic efforts. That same month, Grace Potter opened for and performed alongside The Rolling Stones on two dates of their Zip Code Tour (June 3, 2015; June 6, 2015), solidifying their place among rock royalty. The Nocturnals officially disbanded in 2015, concluding a significant 13-year run of commercial success and critical acclaim in the music industry.
