With her longtime backing band, The Nocturnals, Potter has released four studio albums. The fourth and most recent album, “The Lion The Beast The Beat,” debuted at No. 17 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart and No.10 on Billboard’s Digital chart. The single “Stars” reached No. 1 on the iTunes Rock Song chart.
Grace Potter’s highly anticipated upcoming release, a solo album titled “Midnight,” is set to come out later in 2015. Of the first single, “Alive Tonight,” SPIN says it “sounds every bit as Black Keys as it does Sia, a satisfying halfway point,” and that the song “highlights her trademark howly-growly belt.” Grace is best known for her hit song “Paris (Ooh La La).” She has opened for Robert Plant, Dave Matthews Band and the Avett Brothers, played numerous festivals, including Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Coachella and Rock in Rio, and has collaborated with members of The Black Keys, The Flaming Lips, Kenny Chesney and Gov’t Mule.
Opening for Grace will be Portland favorites Lake Street Dive, a band that has sold out the State Theatre in two 2014 headlining shows. In just a few short years, the band went from playing for a small devoted following, to selling out venues and planning an initial European tour, with dates on several late-night TV shows in the offing.
The Thompson’s Point outdoor venue is located on the southern tip of the point, adjacent to the recently restored section of the Union Station platform shed that was moved to Thompson’s Point in the 1960s.
