Grace Potter makes her second Crown Room appearance on Friday, Aug. 12. The show in the Crystal Bay Casino starts at 8:30 p.m. with an opening band to be announced. The Nightowls play the Red Room after-party.
Grace Potter’s epic musical journey reaches a new milestone with the arrival of her 2015 solo debut, “Midnight,”, an inspired work that is surprising, revelatory and wildly original. Tahoe Onstage album review: LINK
Midnight was recorded and mixed at Barefoot Studios in Hollywood with producer Eric Valentine, whose own diverse discography—from Queens of the Stone Age to Nickel Creek—evidences a similarly adventurous spirit and openness to possibility. If Valentine’s studio work has a distinguishing characteristic, it’s his hard-hitting sonic signature, which is on display throughout Midnight’s dozen tracks. The core studio band consisted of Potter and Valentine on most of the instruments, with Burr on drums and percussion. In addition, members of Potter’s longtime band The Nocturnals: guitarists Scott Tournet and Benny Yurco and bassist Michael Libramento contributed to the sessions, as well as former tour-mates and friends including singer-songwriter Rayland Baxter, Audra Mae, Noelle Skaggs of Fitz & the Tantrums, Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips, and Nick Oliveri of Queens of the Stone Age.
