Potter became the lead singer of the Noct urnals while attending St. Lawrence University. The band self-released two albums before signing with Hollywood Records, and had three full-length studio albums with the label by 2012. The group is known for the song "Paris (Ooh La La)," featuring Potter's vocals. Potter also had a hit duet with Kenny Chesney entitled, "You and Tequila". "Alive Tonight," is the first single from Midnight. It's her first new music since 2012's The Lion The Beast The Beat.
About her first solo album, Grace Potter said: "Everything about this record has been a wild, wonderful odyssey. I explore new sounds with each album I write, and this time around I learned to be patient and really allow each song to boil down to its most universal form. Eric Valentine's studio has a creative atmosphere that allows an artist to chase down every crazy idea, while producing some of the most exciting, high quality sounds I've ever heard. It's been a life-
changing experience and I can't wait to take my live show even deeper and dive into old and new songs!"
Grace Potter will be supporting The Rolling Stones for a pair of nights in June, as well as supporting Neil Young in July. About the opportunity to play with The Rolling Stones, Grace said "There's no better phone call to get than the one that says 'Hello Grace - The Rolling Stones would like you to open for them.' This is bucket list shit. I'm thrilled."
