Upcoming Show: Grace Potter and the Nocturnals with Gov’t Mule at Hoyt Sherman in Des Moines 11/2/07

Grace Potter and the NocturnalsGrace Potter and the Nocturnals will be taking their act for a run this Fall supporting Gov’t Mule. On this tour they will be stopping at some key Midwestern cities including Madison, Minneapolis, Chicago and St. Louis. In addition to those stops they will pause briefly in Des Moines at the Hoyt Sherman Theatre on Friday, November 2nd.

Grace Potter has been gathering some PR steam lately. I was watching the ABC TV show “Men in Trees” with my wife this weekend and heard “Apologies” from her new album over the ending scenes of the show providing a seemingly poignent mood to it.

I’m planning to hit the show– it’s only a couple of hours from Cedar Rapids. I’m using this show as an excuse to brush up on Gov’t Mule. I’m pretty familiar with their relationships with the Allman Brothers Band, Derek Trucks, and that camp, but really nothing else. I’m pretty disappointed in the dearth of “free” content available on the web for me to sample. Their MySpace page only has tracks from their new album Mighty High– which is a dub/reggae album. Really interesting, but probably not representative of what I might hear live. I finally found a blog called “Here Comes the Flood” that posts mp3’s and included a show from Holland in July of this year. I downloaded the three sets and put them on the iPod. I like what i hear so far!
