Grace Potter’s Mother Road Tour with Brittney Spencer will take the stage at 8 p.m. Friday, Jan. 19, at State Theatre, at 609 Congress St. in Portland.
Doors will open at 7 p.m.

Back in summer 2021, Potter took off on a solo cross-country road trip that would soon bring a life-saving reconnection with her most unbridled self. Heading out on Route 66 from her home in Topanga Canyon, the Vermont-born artist spent the coming weeks crashing in roadside motels and taking time each night to deliriously transcribe the song ideas she’d dreamed up behind the wheel, often scrawling those notes onto the backs of postcards and motel notepads.

After completing two more trips across the U.S. on her own — and partly navigating her way with the help of hand-drawn maps from self-styled historians of Route 66 — Potter flew to Nashville for a series of recording sessions that quickly gave way to her most magnificently unfettered collection of songs to date.

As a Baltimore native, Spencer is known for her free spirit and standout ability to mold life, truth, and wild imagination into songs.

Tickets cost $49.50 in advance, $55 day of show and $174.50 VIP.
