Multi-instrumentalist Grace Potter continued her current tour with a concert at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Wednesday night. While Potter went it alone for the main set, she was joined by special guests Nathaniel Rateliff, Alex Proctor and her husband, Eric Valentine as part of the evening’s encore.
Grace alternated between keyboards and guitar throughout the performance. The show was bookended by songs from her latest album, 2019’s Daylight, as “Every Heartbeat” opened the evening and “Release” closed out the concert. Potter also fit in tunes off 2015’s Midnight and from her time fronting The Nocturnals, along with some choice covers.

Last night’s main set concluded with “Big White Gate” and a medley featuring “American Girl” by Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers mixed with her own “2:22” and “Joey” followed by a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Gold Dust Woman.” Grace returned for the encore and took a spot at the electric piano, where she began performing Van Morrison’s “Brand New Day” off the Northern Irish singer-songwriter’s iconic 1970 album Moondance. Colorado’s own Nathaniel Rateliff came out to duet with Potter on the riveting cover to the delight of the crowd.
Proctor emerged on bass with Valentine on drums for the next three songs after Rateliff’s appearance. Alex and Eric backed Grace as part of her “Twilight Hour” livestream concerts throughout the pandemic. The three musicians performed “The Lion The Beast The Beat,” “Turntable” and “Paris (Ooh La La)” before Grace Potter said farewell with a solo version of “Release.”
