February 29, 2016 by BOB BOILEN

These four musicians made their first record together a decade ago, but for many of us, 2016 will be the year Lake Street Dive becomes a household name. The appeal of this band of New England Conservatory friends lies in their warmth in harmony and comfortably styled songs — sometimes tilting toward soul, often rocking danceably on a new collection of songs called Side Pony.

At first, it may be Rachael Price and her charismatic voice that draws you to this Tiny Desk concert, but it won't take long to see that this isn't just a singer and her backing band. The "two Mikes" (trumpeter and guitarist Mike "McDuck" Olson and drummer Mike Calabrese), along with upright bassist Bridget Kearney, share in the songwriting and singing, and contribute mightily to these creative arrangements. You can hear everyone mesh so well in these three new songs from Side Pony -- songs likely to be favorites for many at year's end.

Side Pony is available now:

Set List:
"I Don't Care About You"
"How Good It Feels"
"Godawful Things"

That bass player is extremely good. She gets the groove and then riffs on it. She carries every song. Fantastic musician!

I can understand people here wanting to give Rachael kudos, because she has an amazing voice... but c'mon, where's the love for the rest of the band? Calabrese is pulling off some snappy moves on the kit.. while singing! Bridget is making that bass sing, and McDuck's trumpet solo on top of his guitar playing... these are 4 talented individuals who make up one great band together!

This quartet is tight-tight-tight. All four are very solid in their respective roles within the group. I love this band!

This is one of my favorite bands ever. Rachel Price is a beast of a singer and everyone in the band is super talented. Probably one of the best live bands out there, period.

Bridget Kearney, the bassist, makes me feel funny in the good way.

There's something uncanny about Rachael' voice. There are a number of really good jazz-blues-pop singers around - Morgan James, the PMJ stable & others - and they all give great performances, but they're working at performing. Rachael's singing is different - it just seems to flow out of her. It's like it's effortless, or part of her being.

Amazing, there's no way to fake a voice like that, I think she has one of the best live voices out there.

It's far too dark, but not too late (in the UK) to run down the street knocking every door i can find a yelling, _Have you heard the Lake Street Dive sound!!_ .. Seriously people, these three tracks feel like I've jumped in an ice cold pool - so refreshing and you have a new fan ..

Rachael is one of the best singers of her generation The fact that you pay just as much attention to the other three shows you how charming and talented this band is.

This band is fuckin' dope. Lead vocals remind me a bit of Joni Mitchell.
