After completing work on their T Bone Burnett-produced third album for Ragged Company/Hollywood Records, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals will tour this summer in a new configuration. Catherine Popper (Ryan Adams and the Cardinals, Hem) is the band's new bass player, while their friend and fellow Vermonter Benny Yurco, who also plays in Blues and Lasers, guitarist Scott Tournet's experimental rock project, will be added as rhythm guitarist on all tour dates.
"This is Somewhere," the band's preceding album, generated glowing reviews. Rolling Stone’s David Fricke raved, "Potter … is poised for bigger things… And she’s no pushover as a lyricist."
