Lake Street Dive have pushed the possibilities of pop music as a unifying force, not only through their eclectic sound--a boldly original cross-pollination of soul, folk, jazz, classic pop, and more--the five-piece's all-embracing ethos has also made them a beloved live band known for building a potent connection among every crowd. In the making of their GRAMMY-nominated album Good Together, vocalist Rachael Price, bassist/background vocalist Bridget Kearney, drummer/background vocalist Mike Calabrese, keyboardist/vocalist Akie Bermiss, and guitarist/background vocalist James Cornelison reinforced the deep sense of purpose behind their output, often turning their attention to the many factors driving us apart today (e.g., unchecked technological growth, culturally imposed isolation, the cult of relentless self-optimization). Born from a mindset they refer to as "joyful rebellion," Good Together arrives as a body of work both gloriously defiant and primed to inspire unbridled dancing and ecstatic singing-along.
The follow-up to 2021's Obviously, Good Together finds Lake Street Dive working again with Grammy-winning producer Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Sheryl Crow, Gary Clark Jr.). With its sonic landscape encompassing everything from R&B to funk to Brazilian pop, the album opens on its title track: a left-of-center love song celebrating the thrill of defying expectation and following your heart's desire. Next, on "Dance with a Stranger," Lake Street Dive once again prove their undeniable gift for crafting feel-good songs with an illuminating message, simultaneously inducing a carefree euphoria and gently fostering empathy. The wildly cathartic "Walking Uphill" presents gripping meditation on the work of self-repair, while "Seats at the Bar" puts a sweetly playful twist on the classic love song. And on "Twenty-Five," Price shares a stark and lovely ballad steeped in tender reminiscence of a long-ago romance. All throughout Good Together, Lake Street Dive tap into the palpable camaraderie that's fueled the band since their formation, ultimately delivering their most collaborative, expansive, and powerfully exuberant work to date.

Amazing show. The band is so talented. Enjoyed every minute they were on stage.
Lake Street Dive was amazing. But I have never seen such a rude crowd. People constantly getting up during the show and talking.
Loved the show! Opening act was good and Lake Street Dive couldnt have been any better-unless they played longer!
From the moment Rachel Price opened her mouth, it was a magical night. Her voice is absolutely amazing. The band wonderful as always
Lovely as always with a few big misses. One:. Instruments aren't micd as well as vocals so while we all love Rachel it would be nice to hear the others. Two: energy level was at about an 8 instead of the usual 10.
Lake St Dive is awesome the venue is not! What is up with the seats that so not face the stage?
The venue was great...the band was great...our stay at the Hotel Indigo was great and convenient to the venue...would definitely do it again!!!
I had the absolute best time seeing Lake Street Dive! The vibe was incredible and their voices are even better in person (which I didn't even know was possible). I would 10/10 recommend seeing them in person and will be going again!
We've lost count on the number of times we've seen Lake Street Dive. The venue was great (cozy, intimate), the opener (Monica Martin) was super - we'll strive to see her more as well.
Lake Street Dive always puts on an energetic, professional show — our favorite band! The Orpheum is a fabulous venue. Their staff was very nice. New secure ticketing worked great, transferred tickets with no problem.
First off it was way too loud!! We found the opening band terrible, and painful to listen too. We thought Lake Street Dive were great, and man can she sing!!! but the sound was terrible and it really ruined the performance. Noticeably far too loud and distorted with both bands. I go to many concerts and have done for many years and have never experienced such terrible sound. Very disappointing. Is this on the band or the venue? I don't know, haven't been to the Fox Theater before.
Lake Street Dive is off the hook!! Every performer is an expert with their craft. Racheal Price has the voice of a true professional who can match anyone female singer in the business today. Thank you, Lake Street Dive, for putting it all out there on Oct. 14 for Oakland/North Bay area and the world to see & hear the ultimate Band in classic pop, soul, alt-jazz and folk rock! I look forward to your next tour thru California next year! Peace & Blessings
Maybe do a sound check. Sometimes you should play some favorites.
Big Lake Street Dive fan. This was my eighth concert in multiple states and venues. Splurged for third row lodge seats. The drum amplification was so loud you couldn't hear Bridget's string base. Mike's drumming is typically a highlight for me, but the amplification eliminated his nuance and sophistication. And the whole level of the instrumental volume overwhelmed Rachael Price, one of the greatest vocalists of her generation. Her less accompanied pieces were much better, but still the volume of the sound system distorted her voice.
Yes, first time seeing Lake Street Dive in a live performance. Fabulous ensemble performance. Wonderful harmonies. Rachael powerful voice. Wow, Brittney rocked that bass!
Lake Street Dive lived up to their name. I was amazed how gifted all the musicians wee, and Stephanie Price's voice was a force of nature! I enjoyed how positive their interacts with the audience, and themselves. I can't wait to see them again.
Ease of ticketing, entry, everything that could be controlled by venue/ticketing agent went smoothly. Ticket app allowed easy entry. I will NEVER understand inconsiderate audience members who continually talk DURING a performance-actually trying to out-shout the sound system! Especially when it’s an awesome band like Lake Street Dive I know it isn’t the venue or TM’s fault, I am just venting my frustrations at people’s lack of awareness
Such a fun and talented band to see live. A bit less energy then their June 2022 concert earlier this year in Boston, where they rocked the house all night long. The sound at the Oakland Fox theater was not so great. I was a bit disappointed in the sound system- the bass drum overpowered many songs with an unpleasant booming. Lake Street Dive is an incredibly skilled and experienced band. The sound issue and the lower energy level made this show a bit less then stellar. I will continue to see them live, but will consider the venue each time.
Lake Street Dive is even better live than recorded. Loved every minute of the concert, can't wait to see them again!
We really love Lake Street Dive and also were very taken with the warm-up act. But the entire evening was dampened considerably by the unbelievably and unnecessarily loud bass. We had seats in the forth row of the Loge, right on the center aisle. I would really expect the sound to be pretty good But the bass was so loud that the rest of the music was drowned out all night. I'm not sure if this was an issue of the venue, the sound engineers, or intent on the part of the bands. I'm not complaining about the loudness; loud doesn't bother me. But balance is important and the bass was ridiculously overpowering. I might attend another event at this venue just to see if this was a one-off but it won't be my first choice. It's a beautiful place and I expected the evening to be delightful but I'm sorry to say, it was ruined for me by the sound.
