FRIDAY MUSIC: Lake Street Dive
By JD
More hidden gems. Here are Rachael Price (vocals) and Bridget Kearney (double bass) who together with (irregular) backing musicians are known as Lake Street Dive.
"Lake Street Dive is an American multi-genre band that was formed in 2004 at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. The band's founding members are Rachael Price, Mike "McDuck" Olson, Bridget Kearney, and Mike Calabrese. Keyboardist Akie Bermiss joined the band on tour in 2017 and was first credited on their 2018 album Free Yourself Up; guitarist James Cornelison joined in 2021 after Olson left the band. The band is based in Brooklyn and frequently tours in North America, Australia, and Europe."

Lake Street Dive in the Studio: Rachael Price Sings "What I'm Doing Here" In One Complete Take
That song "What I'm Doing Here" has been on my favorites list for a couple of years now. What a voice. What a performance!
We saw them at the Lyons folk fest in Colorado about five or six years ago. We were blown away. So glad they found mainstream success.
