Grace Potter & the Nocturnals will anchor the Bonnaroo Buzz Tour. This series of dates will highlight both the festival and Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, which is created in the group’s home state of Vermont. The tour, which also will feature such groups as Futurebirds and Gary Clark Jr., will kick off on May 17 at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. It will then route to the south, with the final date on June 9 in Charleston, WV at the Clay Center before the groups make their way to Bonnaroo.

Meanwhile, starting on April 15, a performance by Grace Potter & the Nocturnals will air on the Live from the Artists Den series, which will appear nationwide on PBS stations. The band’s performance of “Paris (Ooh La La)” from the show is on the new digital album Live From the Artists Den: Season 3, which also contains music from Elvis Costello, Robert Plant and Ray LaMontagne.
