A beautiful Mother's Day evening welcomed Grace Potter to the Showtime at The Drive-In stage to cap off her 2021 spring tour!
Families celebrating Mother's Day filled the fairgrounds and Grace began accepting requests from the enthusiastic audience, constructing what would become the largest setlist of the entire tour! The show kicked off with Mama Told Me, which melted into Medicine, followed by Every Heartbeat - an original song written by Grace for her son, Sagan.
Grace continued to take requests from the audience and was soon surprised by her husband, Eric Valentine, with a special Mother's Day gift that Sagan also helped deliver!
Several songs into the set, Grace remarked that the audience seemed to be in "the mood to dance" that evening, after accepting requests such as, Delirious, Turntable, White Rabbit , and Instigators. For the record, Safety Dance broke out three separate times...
The night was filled with requests and Stars soon rang out over the fairground. Grace also dedicated "the best seat in the front row" to the friends and family members that couldn't be in attendance that evening.
Grace rocked out a setlist consisting of 26 songs (plus teasers) over the course of two and a half hours, weaving a stellar tapestry of music over the audience.
Thank you to Grace Potter, Eric Valentine, Alex Proctor and the Showtime at The Drive-In Crew.
A very special Thank You to my Mother this Mother's Day. Thank you for raising me, putting a camera in my hands, instilling a love of music, and encouraging me to pursue my dreams. Every pixel of every image from every show is because of you. Thank you, I love you, Happy Mother's Day. - NP
