Grace Potter Mother Road 

In summer 2021, Grace Potter embarked on a solo road trip along Route 66 from Topanga Canyon, her hometown. Staying in roadside motels, she spent nights jotting down song ideas on postcards and notepads. After two more cross-country trips and using hand-drawn maps from Route 66 enthusiasts, Potter headed to Nashville for recording sessions. The resulting album, a blend of raw memoir and fantastical storytelling, captures a transformative moment in Potter’s life, creating a vivid odyssey through her psyche’s wonderland.
