About Lake Street Dive

Lake Street Dive is a testament to the power of authentic artistry and unwavering dedication. Formed in 2004 while its members were students at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, the band initially explored a more traditional jazz sound. However, their shared love for a broad spectrum of musical genres quickly led them to forge a distinctive path. Led by the incandescent vocals of Rachael Price, whose voice possesses a remarkable clarity and emotive depth, the quartet – also featuring Michael "Iron Mike" Calabrese on drums and vocals, Bridget Kearney on bass and vocals, and Akie Nishina on drums and vocals (following the departure of original keyboardist and guitarist Mike "Ditty" Olson) – has evolved into a powerhouse of contemporary American music.

Their breakthrough came with the release of "Bad Self Portraits" in 2014, an album that garnered critical acclaim and introduced their sophisticated yet accessible sound to a wider audience. This was followed by a string of successful LPs, including "Side Pony" (2016), "Free Yourself Up" (2018), and their most recent offering, "Obviously" (2021). Throughout their career, Lake Street Dive has consistently pushed creative boundaries, exploring lyrical themes of social justice, personal growth, and the complexities of human relationships, all while maintaining an impeccable standard of musical execution. Their performances are renowned for their spontaneity, tight harmonies, and the sheer joy they exude on stage, making each concert a unique and exhilarating experience.
