Lake Street Dive

July 21st, 2022

The multi-genre Alt-jazz rock band Lake Street Dive is gracing their presence on stages across the US this summer/fall!

Lake Street Dive was founded by singer Rachael Price and consists of Bridget Kearney (acoustic bass), Mike Calabrese (drums), Akie Bermiss (keyboards), and James Cornelison (guitar). Price's vocals shine with a uniquely soulful warmth that is complimented by the well-balanced instrumentation, providing a sound that only they can achieve. Lake Street Dive should certainly be on a soul and alt-jazz lover’s radar!

New fans of the band can rejoice as they have quite an extensive discography that holds up from beginning to end! Currently, they have seven studio albums, a live performance album, two EPs, and 12 singles. As of writing this article, Lake Street Dive has just released a new single titled Nick of Time on July 15th!

Here’s what The Rolling Stones’ David Browne had to say about them:

“Although they’ve yet to be nominated for a Grammy, for whatever baffling reasons, one can only imagine the hand-wringing conversations about which category would apply to Lake Street Dive. For 15 years, they’ve been pop’s outliers: A band fronted by a lead singer with roots in jazz and cabaret, playing music that nods to Americana, R&B, pop and everything else but never fails squarely into any of those categories. Hell, Bridget Kearney even plays an upright bass.”

One of our favorite songs by them is Mistakes - give it a listen!

Don’t miss this amazing band while they’re on their US tour from September to October 2022.
