BURBANK, Calif., July 19 /PRNewswire/ -- Hot on the heels of an electrifying performance of their new single "Paris" on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd1PsUyfoME, Hollywood Records recording artists GRACE POTTER & THE NOCTURNALS will premiere the video to their new single exclusively on Hulu for 24 hours starting today http://www.hulu.com/grace-potter-and-the-nocturnals. Hulu currently ranks as the top premium video service on the Web. The video clip for "Paris" was shot by director Paul Minor (Muse, Queens of The Stone Age) at the famed Cafe Club Fais Do-Do in Los Angeles. On July 26, fans can catch the band performing "Paris" on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Lauded for their live shows, the Vermont-based quintet has also announced a string of dates with Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, to be followed by a run with the Avett Brothers. The fun begins September 18 at Minglewood Hall in Memphis, TN.

"Paris" is the first track on the band's self-titled album, which entered Billboard's Top 200 at No. 19 and has been garnering rave reviews. The New York Post gave the album a 4-star review, writing "Potter and company deserve the hype." Oprah's O Magazine compared Potter to the likes of Bonnie Raitt and Lucinda Williams; Rolling Stone (who called the group one of the Best New Bands of 2010) said that the record "bursts with promise," the Dallas Morning News gave the disc an A and called it "an auspicious effort that definitely needs to be heard," and the Boston Herald compared the group to the "Rolling Stones (circa Exile On Main Street), fronted by a young Etta James/Tina Turner/Bonnie Raitt-type singer."

Grace (a diehard foodie) and the band also collaborated with Vermont's Lake Champlain Chocolates for the creation of "Grace Under Fire," a sweet & spicy combination of dark chocolate, roasted pistachios and red pepper, with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. The bars can be found at www.lakechamplainchocolates.com.
