Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are a Vermont-based band that has gained national attention by selling out tours and blowing away audiences across the nation. The band’s original blend of rock and roll conjures up a nostalgic sound most likely found in a record collection from the sixties and early seventies.







Treat Me Right!

The lead vocalist, 25-year-old Grace Potter plays the Hammond B3, Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer Electric Piano, and electric and acoustic guitars. Also in the band are Scott Tournet (guitar/slide guitar/harmonica), Matthew Burr (drums), and Bryan Dondero (electric bass and mandolin). They’re a neoclassic rock & roll band possessing bona fide chops, a natural sense of dynamics and a palate containing all the useful colors, and these qualities allow them to stretch out onstage, to riveting effect. read more...

in any generation." - Felton Pruitt, XM Satellite Radio




Railroad Earth has carved a path wide and
deep throughout the American roots music
scene. The music is driven by the
remarkable songs of front-man, Todd
Sheaffer, and is delivered with seamless
arrangements and superb musicianship
courtesy of all six band members.

Enter Blues and Lasers... electric sonic brainchild of Scott Tournet, guitarist/ vocalist/ songwriter, impassioned by big beat, guitar-heavy, swampy, reverbadelic walls of sound that focus on present time chaos. On break from touring with Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, Tournet pulled together four players who not only assist in completing this vision, but morph it into a larger, if not more poignant entity.

“Young's bluegrass chops come through clearly
and there's more than

enough high-
spirited
music to get you up and dancing or clapping
along,

and more than enough
substance to
keep you reflecting on the
lyrics long after the
music's done, too." - Dirty Linen
