POTTER,GRACE - TRESPASSER Translucent Light Blue Vinyl LP

Expected: 8/21/26

With her 2026 album  Trespasser , Grace Potter introduces a beautifully unruly cast of characters who step into forbidden spaces with absolute abandon. As the spiritual sequel to 2023's  Mother Road , the four-time Grammy nominee's seventh studio LP 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—including sharing stages with rock & roll icons like the Rolling Stones and Robert Plant and earning praise from legends like Bob Dylan and Bonnie Raitt— Trespasser  ultimately lights the way toward a more unbound and expansive means of moving through the world.

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.

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