No, it was at the Sunshine Blues festival in the middle of the day and it was just her and her husband on drums. It was weird at first but wound up being pretty cool.

You'd think Grace would have gone further by now, she sings great, plays great and looks great. What's she lacking, management?

Problem is most great music today just won't fit the small minds of major radio programmers , lucky for us in KC we have a public radio station that gets it.

I don't think any of the "classic" sounding bands are going that far these days. Look at Black Country Communion, they were killer technically but fell way short of doing anything worth mentioning. |

Grace Potter has the same problem as Black Country Communion, (and all the rest of us) neither has written anything special. Everything they have written sounds a lot like things we have heard before and bands we have heard before, nothing really stands out. The public is cruel and fickle, you really have to have a unique sound and a high quality of output to break through. To me BCC sounds like Velvet Revolver and all the rest of the super group incarnations that have come and gone. You can't just be a talented musician and driven, you have to be creating content/art that is in the right place and time historically and completely authentic in its intent and style. Whether you are Hall&Oates in the 80s or The Black Keys in the 2000s, you have to have something special that resonates with people and moves them to a love affair with your music. It's not enough to "perform" rock, blues, country or R&B, lots of talented people can do that. There are hundreds of talented famous musicians from years past still playing today who can't rebuild a channel with the public and fill it with product and support it.

At the end of the proverbial day, it's the song and the sound that matters, especially to get on the map. It seems like Grace Potter could find a song that would get her traction in the pop market.
Mother's Finest was a blazing integrated rock band from the '70's that never got the popularity they deserved.
