Grace Potter & the Nocturnals (12/5/12)

Prompted by some friends to see Grace Potter, I was glad I went.  I'll admit I was initially turned off a bit by the "hot rock chick" look, but the more I checked her out, the more respect I have for her.  I had some pretty high hopes for this show, and the first thing I thought was - Wow, it's been a long time since I've been to a "classic" rock show."  Seriously.  I see a lot of rock and roll, but very few that take me back to Stones-era.  I wish it could have been that good, but it wasn't bad.  She knew how to rock a stage.

"It’s too bad Grace Potter is such a shy, retiring thing. If she could just come out of her shell a TINY bit, a sold-out show like the one Wednesday night at the Cleveland House of Blues might be more fun. OK, it’s not even possible to WRITE that with a straight face. Potter and her band – guitarists Scott Tournet and Benny Yurco, bassist Michael Libramento and drummer Matt Burr – are bundles of joyous energy, ripping through almost two dozen songs in a frenetic set that last more than two hours."
