Grace Potter

There’s a grit, edge and spirit to any truly great female blues-rock voice. It’s a somewhat undefinable hardscrabble umph that many singers try to imitate, but if it’s not authentic then the emotional heft simply doesn’t land. Grace Potter’s voice is the real deal. When she was beginning to break through about a decade ago, the soulful singer-songwriter’s versatility led her to open shows for everyone from the Rolling Stones to Dave Matthews Band to the Flaming Lips, while also winning a Grammy for a duet with Kenny Chesney (“You and Tequila”). Potter proved she’s still got her jaunty blues-rock fastball on her 2023 album Mother Road, and a lively Grace Potter set feels like an excellent way to pregame for the Fourth of July.
