Burbank, CA (Top40 Charts/ Hollywood Records) - Hot on the heels of an electrifying performance of their new single "
Paris" on The
Tonight Show with Jay Leno www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd1PsUyfoME, Hollywood Records recording artists GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS will premiere the video to their new single exclusively on Hulu for 24 hours starting today https://www.hulu.com/grace-potter-and-the-nocturnals. Hulu currently ranks as the top premium video service on the Web. The video clip for "
Paris" was shot by director Paul Minor (Muse, Queens of The Stone Age) at the famed Cafe Club Fais Do-Do in Los Angeles. On July 26, fans can catch the band performing "
Paris" on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Lauded for their live shows, the Vermont-based quintet has also announced a string of dates with Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, to be followed by a run with the Avett Brothers. The fun begins September 18 at Minglewood Hall in Memphis, TN.
"Paris" is the first track on the band's self-titled album, which entered Billboard's Top 200 at No. 19 and has been garnering rave reviews. The New York Post gave the album a 4-star review, writing "Potter and company deserve the hype." Oprah's O Magazine compared Potter to the likes of Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams; Rolling Stone (who called the group one of the Best New Bands of 2010) said that the record "bursts with promise," the Dallas Morning News gave the disc an A and called it "an auspicious effort that definitely needs to be heard," and the Boston Herald compared the group to the "Rolling Stones (circa Exile On Main Street), fronted by a young Etta James/Tina Turner/Bonnie Raitt-type singer."
Grace (a diehard foodie) and the band also collaborated with Vermont's Lake Champlain Chocolates for the creation of "Grace Under Fire," a sweet & spicy combination of dark chocolate, roasted pistachios and red pepper, with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. The bars can be found at www.lakechamplainchocolates.com.
