Austinist Show Giveaway: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals at Stubb's

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals bring a barrage of blues, folk, and soul infused rock ditties to Stubb’s tonight. A native of Vermont, Potter studied theater at St. Lawrence University in New York and also met future band member Matt Burr (drums) at the institution. Scott Tournet (guitar) joined shortly after. Potter’s friend from high school, Courtright Beard was initially a part of the outfit as well but was eventually replaced by Bryan Dondero on bass. The act's name is inspired by their penchance for late night practice sessions.

Grace Potter moved back to Vermont in 2003, taking the Nocturnals with her. The band concentrated on honing their craft and in due time, self-released their debut Original Soul as well as the follow-up Nothing But The Water. Their newest release, This Is Somewhere was released last year on Hollywood Records. Check out Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' roots-rock samplings tonight -- on us by entering the contest below!
