Grace Potter - December 2012 Relix Issue

The December 2012 Relix issue features our Grace Potter & The Nocturnals cover story much more! When Grace Potter & The Nocturnals came together a decade ago, some early fans might have predicted that they’d be big, but no one could have called just How this group of St. Lawrence University students reached the mainstream. After road-dogging their way through festival gigs and jamband clubs, Grace Potter & The Nocturnals eventually inked a major label deal and received airplay from outlets like VH1. But it was a chance encounter with country superstar Kenny Chesney that turned Potter and her band into one of the year’s success stories. Executive Editor Dean Budnick spent time on the road with The Nocturnals late this summer and found out how a group of Phish-loving Vermonters became part of the biggest country music event in New England history.
