On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Grace Potter.\nPotter is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter whose bluesy approach takes inspiration from the \u201960s and \u201970s, when singers like Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin reigned.\nLast year, she released her fifth studio album,\xa0Mother Road, which was produced by her husband Eric Valentine.\nRecorded across Nashville, Topanga, and Hollywood, Potter was motivated to write the LP after returning from a road trip, and in a few days, she\u2019ll head out on a\xa0tour\xa0in support that runs until the fall.\nListen to their conversation on Artist Friendly wherever you listen to podcasts. You can also watch the episode over at Veeps.\xa0\n-------\n\nHost: Joel Madden, @joelmadden\nExecutive Producers: Joel Madden, Benji Madden, Jillian King\nProducers: Josh Madden, Joey Simmrin, Janice Leary\nVisual Producer/Editor: Ryan Schaefer\nAudio Producer/Composer: Nick Gray\nMusic/Theme Composer: Nick Gray\nCover Art/Design: Ryan Schaefer\nAdditional Contributors: Anna Zanes, Neville Hardman\nLearn more about your ad choices.
