Openers for the Summer Tour

[Bigsky]

I was just checking out the show that is to be performed at Mountain Park in Holyoke, MA and I noticed that there is an opener for the boys...Grace Potter and The Nocturnals. I have never heard of this group, so I checked out their website http://www.gracepotter.com, and they sound pretty sweet...and you can't go wrong with a hot lady in a dress rockin' out.

I was wondering if members have noticed any other openers?

[walterfredo]

Grace Potter is awesome....and she's hot.  Double bonus.

[ALady]

Grace Potter is worse than Nicole Atkins.

^^^ that one's for Penny

=P When I saw who I believe was Nicole Atkins walking when we were at that Peruvian restaurant, I was totally hoping for a brawl  ;D

AND. Grace Potter is great, but at work, they keep playing a 30 second clip of her, and it's really annoying and I now hate her  ;D. Hopefully I forget about it by August.

[ALady]

I'm just tired of every.single.dude.I.know telling me how awwwwesome she is.

She's not that awesome.   ::)

It's very simple...

hot girl + short dress + rock n' roll = awesome to guys

...not to mention she has a sweet voice.

[ALady]

uh...I know, Bigsky.  You guys aren't that complicated  ;D

You know who's awesome though?  Anita Robinson.  That girl can really shred.  Viva Voce for openers, please!

Grace is a songwriter, though, i really respect it...rock-n-roll doldrums crap i like...


I lost everything
I fell out of a daydream
At the door of a long lost friend
And I cried aloud
Without an inch of pride
I knew I had reached the end

An old and lonely man
Saw me sittin on the curb
He reached out an took my hand
He said I know your song
And I know your name
And there was a time that I felt the same

But it's a low low road
You've gotta roll down
Before you find your way, my friend
And it's a high, high hill
You've gotta climb up
Before you get to the top again

I held on so dearly
To the wrong things in my life
But now I see so clearly
I was walking into my own knife
You've got to get up off that street
Stop looking at your feet
And take a hold of something real
And this old man, took my hand
He looked at me and said, little girl, I understand

That it's a low low road
You've gotta roll down
Before you find your way, my friend
And it's a high, high hill
You've gotta climb up
Before you get to the top again

And there was a time that I thought that I knew it all
And there was a place that I thought I could call my own
But it all came crashing down and I looked around
And I knew that things would never be the same

Low low road
You've gotta roll down
Before you find your way, my friend
And it's a high, high hill
You've gotta climb up
Before you get to the top again

It's a low low road
You've gotta roll down
Before you find your way, my friend
And it's a high, high hill
You've gotta climb up
Before you get to the top again
Cause it's a low, low road
You've gotta roll down
It's a low, low road

Grace Potter is awesome, regardless of what she looks she's actually really talented, I'm sure she will make a few new fans that night... and I've heard her cover Golden! :)

second this!   Saw them along with I think 7 other people.   Do you have the Blue Giant thing?

[ALady]

Yes, and it's AMAZING.

Highly recommend.

[Penny Lane]

  Do you have the Blue Giant thing?

I'll redirect this thread back to Grace Potter.  A co-worker and I have been trying to get each other into new music.  I've tried to convince her to check out MMJ when they open for Petty.  What does she do?  Gets tickets to Petty w/CSN in Saratoga!

Then she goes on and on about this Grace Potter.  So I buy the CD.  Very cool.  I've only listened to it twice, both times with all three daughters in the car begging for Radio Disney.  Still, I can tell this is good rock.

Looks like Holyoke would be my chance to get her to see MMJ.  The only issue is we're both teachers and our first day back to work from the summer break is the morning after this show, which is about 2 hours from where we live/work.  Not an issue for me, but...

[Bigsky]

I think this will be the first time I'm looking forward to seeing the opener...
