VAIL — Vail Mountain announced today that Grace Potter and the Nocturnals will return to Vail by popular demand to play a free concert at Spring Back to Vail 2012.
Blues rockers JJ Grey & Mofro are also confirmed to play the event. More Spring Back to Vail bands will be announced in the coming weeks. Admission is free to all concerts and events that are part of Spring Back to Vail.
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, who played Spring Back to Vail 2011, will play a free show at Solaris Plaza in Vail Village on April 12. Named one of the “Best New Bands of 2010” by Rolling Stone and one of VH1's “Artists You Oughta Know,” the band is nearing completion of its fourth studio album, which will be titled “The Lion The Beast The Beat.” The band will be playing in Vail just before their first ever performance at Coachella, and it has been rumored that the band will play songs from their new album at the show. Following Coachella, the band will embark on a summer stadium tour with co-headliners Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw, a pairing inspired by Grace's duet with Chesney on their CMA Award-winning single and video “You and Tequila,” which is also up for multiple Grammy and ACM awards and was recently certified platinum for sales of over one million downloads.
JJ Grey & Mofro is a blues/Southern rock band hailing from Jacksonville, Fla. that has built an intensely loyal fan base since its debut in 2001. Grey is known for laying it all on the line during every single performance, leaving blissful fans and overwhelming praise in his wake. Grey comes from a long tradition of Southern storytellers and, in that spirit, he fills his songs with details that are at once vivid, personal and universal. His songs have appeared in film and on network and cable television programs. JJ Grey & Mofro will play a free concert on April 14 in Vail Village.
Spring Back to Vail is the annual spring bash in Vail celebrating the close of the skiing and riding season with a jam-packed schedule of events that includes free headliner concerts, nightly bar parties, the Spring Back to Vail Expo Village and the wet ‘n' wild World Pond Skimming Championships.
