Lake Street Dive

Lake Street Dive have pushed the possibilities of pop music as a unifying force. Their eclectic sound, a boldly original cross-pollination of soul, folk, jazz, classic pop, and more, combined with an all-embracing ethos, has made the five-piece a beloved live band known for forging a powerful connection with audiences. Since forming in Boston, Grammy- and Emmy-nominated Lake Street Dive have cultivated a singular identity, winning over audiences with beloved songs like “Hypotheticals,” “Good Kisser,” and “Better Than.” Their genre-defying sound and the warmth that radiates through their music have earned them a fiercely devoted fanbase, while their live shows transform that spirit into a joyful, communal celebration. In 2027, the band will release their ninth studio album, What About Flamingos?, a joyful love letter to the improbable miracle of being alive on Earth. Anchored by the title track’s mantra-like refrain, “This might be the only place,” the album invites us to marvel at the extraordinary hiding in the everyday. Moving through a whimsical, stream-of-consciousness list of everything that makes this planet remarkable, from flamingos and ice cream to The Beatles and the five humans who found their way to making music together, the song is a warm, curious reminder of just how much we have to be grateful for.
