It’s not unusual for college students to play the music of Eric Clapton and Little Feat and other legendary musicians and dream of one day joining their ranks. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals is one band that actually made that dream come true. What started as a group of St. Lawrence University students — Potter, drummer Matt Burr and lead guitarist Scott Tournet — has now turned into a powerhouse of indie rock/Americana that boasts sold-out show after sold-out show around the United States.

“The Nocturnals come through for me with flying colors, which shows me that it’s the people you know and your family that are the ones you should put your faith in,” said Potter of the band’s self-titled 2010 album, which was a career high for them, reaching No. 20 on the Billboard charts.
