Acclaimed US five-piece band Lake Street Dive have announced an Australian Tour 2025 for March – their first Australian shows in eight years. This includes a show at Live at the Gardens at Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens on Saturday 15 March 2025.
Lake Street Dive is a versatile American band known for blending jazz, pop, soul, and rock. Formed in 2004 at the New England Conservatory of Music, the band’s eclectic sound is powered by lead singer Rachael Price’s rich vocals, alongside the musical talents of Bridget Kearney (bass), Mike “McDuck” Olson (trumpet, guitar), and Mike Calabrese(drums).
The band initially focused on jazz, but over time, they evolved into a genre-defying group with a distinctive retro sound influenced by Motown, classic rock, and folk.
Their breakthrough album, Bad Self Portraits (2014), garnered critical acclaim for its innovative blend of styles. Tracks like “Good Kisser” and “Call Off Your Dogs” showcase the band’s ability to write catchy yet sophisticated songs. Over the years, they have cultivated a loyal fanbase with their dynamic live performances and unique sonic identity.
In a statement, the band said: “It’s been too long, Australia— eight years, to be exact— since we played your glorious country/continent combo! But as Men at Work said, “you better run, you better take cover,” because we’re coming back! Look out for a show near you in March 2025 as part of our Australian Tour 2025. We’ll be good together again!” –
