Grace Potter and the Nocturnals:
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals tour dates are scheduled at nearly 200 shows every year proving that they are one of the hardest working acts out there. According to the band, the prolific touring schedule allowed them to "shape and sharpen their sound the old-fashioned way, on stages in front of demanding crowds." With that kind of experience, Grace Potter and the Nocturnal concert dates have became a national phenomenon and they are about to break out huge with their latest single "Paris Ooh La La". Featuring the big vocals of lead singer Paris and the rock jams of the Nocturnals, the band's latest release has garnered heavy rotation on MTV. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals tour dates are booked on a national tour in support of their most recent album.

The Vermont based group formed in 2002 when Matt Burr noticed Potter performing at St. Lawrence University. They coined the name Grace Potter and the Nocturnals the following year and released their indie album Nothing But the Water. While the release wasn't a national hit, the band went on to receive nominations at the Boston Music Awards in 2005 for Best New Local Act and Best Local Female Artist. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals extensive concert schedule certainly paid off in 2006 when they were awarded the Best New Groove award at the Jammy Awards.
The band returned to the studio and released their sophomore set This Is Somewhere in 2007. Grace and the Nocturnal tour dates were booked on the opening stage for Gov't Mule for their North American tour. While their albums were not making an impact on the charts, their singles were heating up on shows such as All My Children, ER, and Grey's Anatomy, where they appeared in dramatic sequences. The band also booked performances on Jay Leno and Good Morning America. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals tour dates were scheduled on their largest stage yet when they opened for Dave Matthews Band in New York for their three night stint at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
In 2009, the group hit the studio with legendary producer Mark Batson, to produce a new album. In the meantime, Grace and the Nocturnals tour dates were booked at the 2009 Bonnaroo Music Festival where they debuted their lead-off single "Tiny Light". They released their third album Grace Potter and the Nocturnals in 2010. It immediately debuted at #20 on the Billboard 200 and became their first album to chart. The band garnered mainstream attention with the single "Paris (Ooh La La)". To prove that success hasn't changed them, Grace and the Nocturnals concert schedule remains as active as ever. The band will be on tour throughout 2011 in support of their most recent cut, and hope to make further inroads to their career.

Langhorne Slim: We are so proud to announce and present Be Set Free, the mighty third album by Langhorne Slim.
One of the most endearing and standout qualities of Slim's live shows is the sureness that one is always entering a genuine gospel-like musical experience full of little miracles. Be Set Free has captured this charisma and spirit -the "hold your heart" moments and "raise a drink" dance vibes shine throughout with lush string arrangements and the fine sonic talents of drummer Malachi DeLorenzo and new bassist Jeff Ratner. Langhorne's stronger than ever vocals lead the journey blending his poetry through the beautiful chaos and bearing a wisdom that reflects a broken heart battling the perils of true hope.
Be Set Free is Langhorne's most cinematic and cohesive effort to date. Slim has truly reached a point of light where these songs come from wide-eyed maturity and mastered craft.
Gut wrenching lyrics and gorgeous merry melodies-it would be easy to categorize it as folk, but this time-it's much more complex than just that slice of pie. Sweet hallelujah choruses bleed throughout tracks like "Land Of Dreams" and "Say Yes" and turn to the darkness of blues filled "I Love You, But Goodbye". Be Set Free was produced by Chris Funk (member of Decemberists) who also played various instruments on the record in Portland, OR. The album was mixed by Tucker Martine who has worked with greats like Sufjan Stevens and R.E.M. Needless to say 'tis been a non stop journey of excitement for Langhorne Slim. Since March 2008, the band have headlined over 150 shows and played major festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bumbershoot, Austin City Limits Festival, Newport Folk Fest, Sunset Junction, Pickathon, Rhythm and Roots, and SXSW. The band garnered heavy acclaim for their performance of "Restless" on the David Letterman show and were WXPN's artist of the month.
