Since forming in 2004, Lake Street Dive have matched their sophisticated musicianship with a fearless refusal to limit their sound. As shown on their most recent full-length album, 2021’s critically acclaimed Obviously, the Boston-bred band also possess a keen talent for combining sociopolitical commentary with immediately catchy pop gems. With their current lineup comprised of founding members Rachael Price (vocals), Bridget Kearney (bass), and Michael Calabrese (drums) — as well as keyboardist/vocalist Akie Bermiss and touring guitarist James Cornelison — Lake Street Dive continue to create joyously soulful rock & roll with equal parts ingenuity, intelligence, and irresistible abandon.
Although a certain spirited eclecticism has defined Lake Street Dive since their earliest days, the band’s four original members first crossed paths while studying jazz at Boston’s New England Conservatory of Music. Their full-length debut In This Episode… arrived in 2007, followed by three more independently released and rapturously received albums. As the band’s energetic live show continued to earn them a devoted following, Lake Street Dive made their Nonesuch Records debut with Side Pony: a 2016 effort that instantly shot to No. 1 on three Billboard charts and later landed on Paste’s 50 Best Albums of 2016 list. The following year, the group experienced a new infusion of creative energy with the addition of Bermiss (previously their touring keyboardist), who has since begun sharing writing and arrangement duties. Arriving in 2018, Lake Street Dive’s self-produced sixth album Free Yourself Up debuted in the top ten on the Billboard 200 and spent seven and a half months on the non-commercial radio charts, with the smoldering hit single “Good Kisser” holding steady in the top five at Americana radio for over a month.
In recent years, Lake Street Dive have brought even more boldness to their kaleidoscopic sound while deliberately expanding their songcraft. To that end, Obviously finds the band examining such complex matters as gender inequality (on “Being a Woman”) and the monumental challenges faced by younger generations (on “Making Do”), shaping each track with a profound intentionality and ineffable mastery of melody and groove — a process Price refers to as “putting these messages into three and a half minute snippets, dropping whatever truth we can and hoping it’s the type of thing that people want to ruminate on.” Made with producer Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Mary J. Blige), the result is an endlessly illuminating body of work that’s earned praise from the likes of Rolling Stone (who noted that “[a]t a moment when pop strives for lo-fi, solitary-world intimacy, the jazz-pop-whatever band refuse to think small”).
To celebrate the 10-year anniversary release of Bad Self Portraits, Lake Street Dive will be releasing a limited edition, remastered LP on February 16, 2024. This special LP will feature 2 previously unreleased songs, offering fans an exclusive glimpse into the hidden gems of the band’s creative vault.
Over the years, they’ve captivated massive audiences and through their fierce commitment to constantly elevating their artistry, Lake Street Dive have ultimately emerged as one of the most compelling voices in alternative music today, both reliably sublime and thrillingly unpredictable. Their ever-evolving journey will continue in 2024 with much anticipated new music and more.

Goth Babe has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket goes to supporting Protect Our Winters and their work helping passionate outdoor people protect the places and experiences they love from climate change.
Goth Babe is Griff Washburn enjoying himself. Originally from Tennessee, Griff currently lives and writes music on a 36ft off-grid sailboat named Lola. He is currently exploring the west coast of Mexico on Lola with his dog Sadie, after sailing down from California last December. When not on the road touring or on his boat, Griff and Sadie are off enjoying the outdoors in a truck camper. They explore the west coast of the United States fly fishing, surfing, snowboarding, and of course writing music along the way. His mission through this project has been to raise money for environmental non-profits like Protect Our Winters, Project Zero, or Conservations Lands Foundation. By attending Griff’s shows, listening to his music, or buying his merch, you’re helping Mother Earth and all its beautiful places. He hopes to also create a safe space for listeners to follow their aspirations and be genuine to themselves.
Griff just released his debut album Lola (Jan 26, 2024): “I would love if these songs allowed people, even just for a second, to escape the weight and heaviness of the world.”
I’ve been doing music for about 8 years now and taking it seriously for about 6. Started out doing covers on the piano, then formed a band with friends in high school and called it Ritt Momney. We recorded and released a couple songs like Young Adult. They all left to go on Mormon missions or college, and I kept doing solo stuff and got really into writing/production. I decided to release the single Something, in General under Ritt Momney, and eventually a full album called Her and All of My Friends in 2019. During the pandemic I did a cover of Corinne Bailey Rae’s Put Your Records On, it kind of blew up on TikTok and I ended up signing with Columbia/Disruptor for a one-album deal. That album turned out to be Sunny Boy, which came out in 2021.
I’ve spent some time in LA and NY but moved back to SLC and will probably be here for a while or forever. I’m hanging with my gf Lindsay and my dog Perry and playing basketball, and also working on new music. I’m really excited about the next album. It’s going to be really good I think.
