Lake Street Dive will return to the Boch Center Wang Theatre stage New Year's Eve, Monday, December 31. This show will feature support acts Emily King and Dietrich Strause.
Lake Street Dive will release Free Yourself Up, its second album with Nonesuch
Records on May 4. The band -- drummer Michael Calabrese, bassist Bridget
Kearney, singer Rachael Price, and guitarist/trumpeter Michael "McDuck" Olson -
- self-produced the album at Goosehead Palace Studios in Nashville with
engineer Dan Knobler. Lake Street Dive formed in 2004 while students at New
England Conservatory and have been touring non-stop ever since, growing from
basement venues like The Lizard Lounge in Boston, MA to selling out Radio City
Music Hall in New York City. For this album, the quartet drafted touring
keyboardist Akie Bermiss to join them in the studio. Adding another player to the
process freed up the band members to explore a wider range of instrumental
textures, construct more full-bodied arrangements, and build on their well-known
background harmonies. "This album is based in the realities in our
time," Kearney reflects, "which have inevitably become part of everyone's daily
life. It's something you think about and obsess over -- and write songs
about. Free Yourself Up is about empowering yourself, emboldening yourself, no
matter what's going wrong.”

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Wang Theatre has housed the performing arts since opening in 1925, developing from a movie “cathedral” and home to vaudeville musicals and big bands, to today’s role as an impressive venue for world-class theatre, music, Broadway, and dance.
