Our favorite 2010 discovery

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals.
They barely made it in the 2010 discovery because I think it was about December 30 when we were randomly watching a VH1 concert for the troops (or something very exciting like that) when we heard this very awesome song. We had never seen or heard of the band before but we really loved the band and her voice. Think Stevie Nicks meets Norah Jones with a little more rock and roll. We were in love. So we got online looked them up and magically enough they were coming to Portland on January 28. We promptly drove ourselves to the box office and acquired tickets. $15 a piece, and quite possibly the best $30 we have ever spent.
This concert was insane. It was so good. Grace plays about 20 instruments and has the most incredible voice. They played for 2 1/2 straight hours. No talking, and they didn't even stop playing in between songs. We were beside ourselves. So so good. Tyler has placed it as the second best concert he has ever seen (which is really saying something) and I have it unquestionably at number one.
Please go listen to them on itunes or youtube or something.
And guess what SLC friends!? She is coming to you.
So, if you live in SLC get in your car and drive to The Depot {RIGHT NOW!} and get yourself some tickets. They will be there on Feb 9. Seriously. Go. Now.
Also, I have a crush on the base player. She is awesome.
Here, watch. Then go buy tickets.


And this just does not do justice to her live performance.
My oh my do we love Grace Potter.
