Grace Potter and the Nocturnals got their start in northwestern Vermont in 2002. The band quickly gained a large East Coast following with their combination of blues, alternative, hard rock, folk, and jam music. They were nominated for a number of Boston Music Awards over the years, and they won a Jammy Award in New York's Madison Square Garden in 2006.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals has had music featured in a number of television shows, including All My Children, Kyle XY, ER, Grey's Anatomy, Brothers & Sisters, and One Tree Hill. Potter and the gang are veterans of the festival scene, having played at Bonnaroo, 80/35, Floydfest, Mile High, Hangout, and others.
