Lake Street Dive started out in 2004 at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, four musicians who could clearly play anything and chose to play it with a grin. Rachael Price sings lead with a voice that can purr or belt, Bridget Kearney holds down the bottom on upright bass, Mike Calabrese drums, and Mike "McDuck" Olson played guitar, trumpet and just about everything in between. They have since settled in Brooklyn.
Bad Self Portraits, in 2014, is where most people met them: the title track and "You Go Down Smooth" were warm, clever and swinging, jazz chops put to work on vintage soul and pop hooks. Side Pony added "Call Off Your Dogs" and "Mistakes". Keyboardist Akie Bermiss joined on tour in 2017 and appeared on Free Yourself Up the next year, which gave them the slinky "Good Kisser".
When Olson left, guitarist James Cornelison came aboard in 2021, the year of Obviously and "Hypotheticals". Good Together, in 2024, showed a band still polishing the same smooth, generous groove.
