On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Grace Potter. Potter is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter whose bluesy approach takes inspiration from the ’60s and ’70s, when singers like Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin reigned. Last year, she released her fifth studio album, Mother Road, which was produced by her husband Eric Valentine. Recorded across Nashville, Topanga, and Hollywood, Potter was motivated to write the LP after returning from a road trip, and in a few days, she’ll head out on a tour in support that runs until the fall. Listen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at Veeps.  ------- Host: Joel Madden, @joelmadden Executive Producers: Joel Madden, Benji Madden, Jillian King Producers: Josh Madden, Joey Simmrin, Janice Leary Visual Producer/Editor: Ryan Schaefer Audio Producer/Composer: Nick Gray Music/Theme Composer: Nick Gray Cover Art/Design: Ryan Schaefer Additional Contributors: Anna Zanes, Neville Hardman Learn more about your ad choices.
