About

LAKE STREET DIVE:

Hailed by Rolling Stone as the year's  "best new band" upon the 2014 release of album Bad Self Portraits, Lake Street Dive have made a big impression with their creative brand of soul pop. Anchored by the honey-toned vocals of conservatory-trained frontwoman Rachel Price, the band's breezy, indie-inflected tunes are nothing if not confident, reflecting the training and virtuoso musicianship of the band's talented members. Lake Street Dive impressed the pants off of Ellen Degeneres performing live on her show in 2014, building excitement among fans for their upcoming tour dates.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Formed in 2004 by a group of students at Boston's New England Conservatory of Music, Lake Street Dive started out as a country act before settling on the jazz-inspired soul pop they're known for today. They self-released their 2006 debut album In This Episode... with the winnings they took home from the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, self-releasing sophomore album Promises, Promises the following year. In 2010, they signed with Signature Sounds Recordings for their self-titled third album, a strong collection of songs that hinted at the heaps of praise their sixth album Bad Self Portraits would receive upon its early-2014 release.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Lake Street Dive put on an amazing show! The lead singer's voice is unbelievable and the band as a whole is fantastic. Lots of energy, great interaction with the crowd."

"Very cool band. What a voice! Well-written songs, with some fantastic cover songs sprinkled in."

"They sound great live! The musicians and the vocalist are extremely talented and they play well together. Eclectic mix of styles is fun."

    BEST NEW BAND! / Additional security needed.

    by Xanna on 8/16/14House of Blues Las Vegas - Las Vegas

    Lake Street Dive is absolutely the best new band of 2014. Because they were playing opening sets in Portland and Seattle, we flew from Seattle to see them headline (a full 90 minutes!) in Las Vegas. They were stellar. Completely worth the trip. However, I can't give the event 5 stars because of a major security problem down front with a very intoxicated woman that security completely missed. We finally had to make them aware of it. She was so gone she was falling over and banging into people, so her boyfriend began holding her up. It took at least a couple of songs after notifying security for these people to be removed. The boyfriend was screaming and swearing. It really marred the evening. Considering the very responsible, intense security upon entry--bag checks, metal wands, pat downs--I was very surprised that nobody was paying attention on the other side of the door. I felt bad for the band, who must have been distracted, but continued flawlessly like the pros that they are. It was an unfortunate situation that could have been avoided.

    Phenomenal show. Wonderful showmanship, incredible music, and just an all around rocking environment for all in attendance. Everyone should find an opportunity to see Lake Street Dive in person; they were amazing.

    Lake Street Dive was super

    by Anonymous on 6/15/14The National - Richmond

    We enjoyed the show at the National. The crowd was quite diverse and the show was a show case of old school and new. I recommend seeing these guys.

    Lake Street Dive has an amazing sound and great stage presence. All members of the band are extremely talented and it clearly showed. The lead singer has an amazing voice that stuns and awes. Overall, the show was a great time with great music.

    Painfully (and illegally) loud

    by Soundhound37 on 6/15/14The National - Richmond

    Coldplay played at earsplitting volumes....so I figured I'd take a quick dBA reading with my Audio Tools app. Up to a max of 106 dBA. In the balcony. At that level OSHA would limit worker exposure to 30 minutes. By law. And there were workers present in the theatre, and tending bars (it was just as loud at the bar; I checked a couple of times). Then Lake St Dive came on. We figured they'd be a little more ear-friendly, but we were wrong. Way wrong. They were even louder. I measured dBA at a max of 110. More importantly, the dBA level stayed above 100 dBA for at least 30 minutes straight, twice. I finally went outside to wait for my group. my husband and one of our friends arrived. We left shortly thereafter, and agreed to never attend another concert at the National.

    Well worth the 31/2 hr drive!

    by ChefMichael57 on 5/26/14THE 8by10 CLUB - Baltimore

    First off- the 8by10 club in Baltimore is a good venue to see up and coming talent. The 250 capacity club is super intimate and seeing LAKE STREET DIVE in this setting was well worth the 31/2 hr drive from Jersey. I saw a lot of great shows in 2013 but this was one of my favorites. Although RACHEL PRICE fronts the band with incredible vocals- BRIDGET KEARNEY (bass), MIKE OLSEN (trumpet and guitar), and MIKE CALABRESE( drums) all play critical roles in the success of the band. The band has already come a long way since this show with stellar write ups in ROLLING STONE and a great TV debut on COLBERT. Anyway- they put on a great 25 song show with high energy and exceptional musicianship! I will be bragging about seeing LSD in a small club for years to come.

    Lake Street Dive nailed it!

    by MaxBelgian on 4/9/14Royale Boston - Boston

    LSD offered me one of the best concert of my life! It was amazing, powerful, funny, transporting... By the way the band Ages and Ages was doing the introduction. Didn't know them before but I bought all their CDs and I will definitely follow them, it was super cool! Only thing, be aware that the Royal doesn't accept credit card under 10$. "Unfortunately" I had to take two drinks in a row... Second thing, don't do the same mistake than I, don't bring your camera without a camera pass.

    Lake Street Dive & Ages and Ages are Great!

    by Thitch on 4/9/14State Theatre - Portland

    Ages and Ages was the opener. I often snooze through openers. But these kids really have something. Their vocal tapestries backed by driving rock and roll are full of joy and truly wonderful. Well worth seeing. As for Lake Street Dive, they put on the best show I've seen in at least a decade, if not longer. Brilliant, riveting, fun, virtuoso--the superlatives just keep coming. If you get a chance, go see and hear them. Absolutely amazing!!!!!

    Great show, with a few little hiccups

    by Anonymous on 4/9/14Royale Boston - Boston

    Lake Street Dive is amazing. I saw them a few years ago and simply couldn't get them out of my head! This concert was interesting because Lake Street Dive has such a diverse following... young, old, disinterested (frustrating because there were always people talking while the concert was happening, but what can you do about that), etc. But this made the show great because no one was pushing us around or screaming or anything. The one qualm I had was that the band had us waiting for more than 30 minutes to go on stage. The opener started right on time, and was incredible (check them out! Ages and Ages!), and everyone in the audience lost their excitement when we had to wait until after 10pm for Lake Street Dive to get on stage. Normally this isn't an issue, but when you have elderly folk in your audience and it's a Sunday night, you'd think you'd do a little better with this. I also have to mention how frustrating it was that on one of their most popular songs, Rachel changed ALL of the notes and beats, so no one could sing along! I get that they must get really sick of singing the same songs over and over, but they should throw the audience a little bone and at least keep some of the chords or rhythms the same. The Royale is a beautiful venue as well! You can see the stage from anywhere, which I really like.

    Lake Street Dive was awesome

    by Chris2468 on 4/9/14Royale Boston - Boston

    I went into the show knowing almost nothing about the band or their music. But I left with a profound admiration and respect for this group. Lots of energy and talent to match. Vocals were tremendous. Music was fun. This group has a great mixture of confidence and humility. I plan on seeing them again, and I recommend them to music fans of all ages. PS - I'm in my late 40's and I assumed I'd be the oldest person there, but the place was packed with both young and old, which shows the mass appeal of this very likeable band.

    Loved Lake Street Dive

    by Avidfan02130 on 4/8/14State Theatre - Portland

    Most amazing show! Had heard a good deal of their recorded music, but nothing prepared me to have my doors blown off by the band's live performance. Great selection displaying their range. Rachel Price has great stage presence and killer pipes. Tight harmonies and arrangements. They were having as much fun as the audience which made for terrific energy throughout the evening,
