I really like Grace she's cool.

Just when I think Grace Potter can't get any cooler... they throw cheese into the crowd.

The term "sell out' has almost no meaning. Virtually all musicians have to cater to commercial interests in one way or another. The exceptions are so few that they (as the saying goes) prove the rule.

I've watched grace from the beginning and seeing her blossom is awesome! If any person had the genetics to do what she is doing they would...or they are nuts!

grace is human just like everyone else. instead of assuming she "sold out" consider the fact that maybe she just wanted to change her on stage style. she looks great and she sounds even better (which is tough cause she's super-sexy). You cant expect an artist to always stay the same anymore than you can expect any other person to stay the same

Love what you do! You have a good heart and soul and I thank you for keeping it real. God Bless!

I guess for the artist it comes down to do you wanna play and work at a day job or do you wanna do what it takes to create a good income so you can keep on "playing" for a living. I for one do it for a living and at my level it's impossible to pay your bills. I do see what you saying and I even am putting out a all instrumental guitar CD and there is no way that is selling out, but it is a business and if your not appealing to the masses you starve and then you give up on your dreams. C22 :(

I agree with you about the trap of playing the hits and then being expected to deliver those for eternity, because no one wants to hear that. Even in my cover band I get that, we established ourselves a certain way and if we go out of the box too much it does not work. I have limited exposure to Grace before her latest CD, but some of the songs from before it are awesome and artsy.."Apologies" comes to mind. So it seems your concerned about her dressing herself up a little to sell her music.

@gotcrush And there is no such thing as "establishing yourself and then doing what you want." If you establish yourself as a particular type of act, people will always expect and desire that. People like Bon Jovi and John Mayer tried to do that with a softer record and the John Mayer Trio and people weren't into it as much. They wanted to hear the hits. You just gotta hope that your hits come from your heart so that you can give the people what they want AND get what you need. Tough business.
