Grace Potter played Times Square, playing outside Grand Central, Webster Hall & other shows - 2010 dates

Grace Potter

Grace Potter played a short 15 minute set in an even shorter shiny purple dress in the middle of Times Square in honor of Earth Day this morning (they went on around 11:30am). The Earth Day festivities continue as I type this. Backed by her band The Nocturnals, there was a cheering crowd in front of her and completely random passerbys to her left – many who didn’t even turn their heads to see who was performing to their right. The pictures in this post were grabbed from the live feed.

If you missed it, there’s an even longer and also free and more conveniently timed Grace Potter and the Nocturnals show happening outside Grand Central on Friday, also in honor of Earth Day (“6:00PM. 45 minute set. Free Show. Outside of Grand Central Station on Vanderbilt, between 42nd and 45th”)

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals will then return to NYC again on June 12th for a headlining show at Webster Hall. It’s part of a few new dates they announced in support of their new album “set to be released digitally on iTunes on 5/25 and physically on 6/8”. The NYC show and a Boston one are on fan presale now. The NYC show then goes on general sale Friday at noon (Boston goes on sale Saturday).

All dates, the band’s new video, and couple more screencaps from Times Square below…
