Grace Potter
The Ritz 2820 Industrial Dr, Raleigh, North Carolina 27609
On last year’s intensely personal Daylight, Grace Potter returned to roots and blues rather than the slickness of her previous solo album, the spotlight back on her soulful, commanding pipes. Though Potter split from The Nocturnals four years ago, she’ll still pull liberally from their catalog. Accompanying Potter is Devon Gilfillian who, in his enthralling debut LP, infused funky, forward-thinking R&B with heady psychedelics. In his words, “I want to put this soul music on a spaceship and send it to Mars.” Mission accomplished. —Spencer Griffith
