PRE-ORDER THE ALBUM HERE

LISTEN TO "LOVE ME NOT" HERE

FRIDAY, MAY 15 (LOS ANGELES, CA) - Today, four-time GRAMMY nominee Grace Potter announced her seventh studio album, Trespasser,due outAugust 21 via Thirty Tigers. Across 10 tracks, Trespasser introduces a beautifully unruly cast of characters who step into forbidden spaces with absolute abandon. Pre-order the album HERE .

As the spiritual sequel to 2023's critically acclaimed Mother Road, Potter continues the kaleidoscopic storyline shaped by her many road trips from her Topanga Canyon home to her part-time residence in her native Vermont (a journey she's made eight times in the last five years, usually on her own). But while Mother Road was born from a desperate need for solace in the midst of emotional freefall, Trespasser reveals an artist firmly anchored in her singular vision. The latest chapter in a career marked by endless transformation and elite recognition, Trespasser ultimately lights the way toward a more unbound and expansive means of moving through the world.

Also today, Potter released the album's first single, "Love Me Not." After beginning in a bruised but baiting, slow-burning fragility, the track morphs into a high-energy free-for-all after the first chorus, dancing through the emotional wreckage with a euphoric rush of radiant piano melodies and fantastically rowdy gang vocals. Listen to "Love Me Not" HERE .

"We've always been taught that the trespassers are the bad guys, but to me it's not about reckless rebellion-it's about exploring, physically and mentally and emotionally, and being willing to step outside the narratives we've accepted," Potter shares. "Because in my experience, the places we're told not to go are exactly the ones that show us who we really are."

Although each song on Trespasser opens a window onto her inner landscape, Potter conceptualized the album as a dimension-hopping road saga, weaving together what she refers to as "these fables and storylines that have been whooshing around my soul for a very long time." Part myth, part fever dream, the LP's rotating cast of drifters circles around Topeka: a wild-hearted nomad who drives off a bridge in the breathless and scorching "Ride Or Die," only to be resurrected within the spectral reverie of "Gasoline." With its ensemble of misfits also including the lascivious ghost of a café delivery boy and the jealousy-crazed diner owner who killed him, Trespasser turns epic on "War On The Mountain"-a mythic psychodrama in which wholeness comes from making peace with all the selves you were told to exile.

Produced by her husband and frequent collaborator Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer, Slash) and recorded in a cross-country journey beginning at her home in Topanga with Benmont Tench (Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers), continuing in Nashville with Mother Road session players Nick Bockrath (Cage the Elephant), Tim Deaux (Kings of Leon), and Matt Musty (Train), and completed in Vermont with members of her longtime live band (guitarists Indya Bratton and Ricky Dover Jr, bassist Kurtis Keber, drummer Jordan West), the album echoes its origins with a wayward sound that spans from stripped-bare soul to cosmic country to hellraising rock & roll-all while orbiting Potter's force-of-nature voice and lavishly imagined storytelling.

This summer, Potter is set to join Chris Stapleton for five shows on his All American Road Show Tour, marking the third consecutive year she's been on the road with the country superstar. Potter will also join Zac Brown Band for 11 shows on their Love and Fear Tour this fall. She'll kick off her stretch of the tour with two nights at Forrest Hills Stadium in New York City, and will also offer support at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, SC, Allstate Arena in Rosemont, IL, two nights at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO, and more.
