Grace Potter's '70s influences come through on her new album, Mother Road (out August 18 through Fantasy Records). The Vermont native built her name as the leader of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, sang on a hit song ("You and Tequilla" in 2010) with country star Kenny Chesney and had a song ("Something That I Want") on the 2010 Disney movie Tangled. Now with countless tour dates and five solo albums under her belt, Grace joins Behind the Setlist to talk about the meaning behind Mother Road, the new material, how she chooses songs to play in her sets, her '70s and '90s musical influences, her music festival and advice a record executive gave to a young Grace Potter.
