The past few weeks have found Vermont rock staples, Grace Potter and The Nocturnals, jumping into the studio with none other than legendary music producer, T-Bone Burnett.


Burnett's astonishing discography includes landmark albums from Robert Plant & Alison Krauss, Elvis Costello, John Mellencamp, Gillian Welch, Roy Orbison, Counting Crows and the Wallflowers.

Potter says of Burnett: "T Bone’s a legend but also a genuinely effervescent personality, which is what I look for in anybody, especially a producer..."

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals' album is tentatively slated for a fall 2009 release. In the meantime, you can catch GPN on tour all summer long as below.
