The band quickly garnered significant industry recognition, earning nominations at the Boston Music Awards for ‘Best Local Female Artist’ and ‘Best New Local Act’ in 2005, and winning a Jammy Award for ‘Best New Groove’ in 2006.

Her ongoing collaboration with Kenny Chesney continued to yield success, with their track ‘Wild Child’ garnering multiple award nominations in 2016. Potter released her introspective solo album ‘Daylight’ in 2019, further cementing her status as a prolific artist. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, she connected with her audience through weekly streaming performances.
