It’s been a breakthrough couple of years for Lake Street Dive, as the jazz-soul quartet formed at New England Conservatory flew to national recognition and recently signed to Nonesuch Records to make its next album, due in early 2016.
Now the group — comprised of lead singer Rachael Price, trumpeter/guitarist Mike Olson, bassist Bridget Kearney and drummer Mike Callabrese – is going back to where it all began, the folky dives of Cambridge for its Memory Lane Tour.
Announced today, the tour will get started at New York’s Rockwood Music Hall and Northampton’s Parlor Room before landing Nov. 18-19 at Club Passim and Nov. 20 at the Lizard Lounge, where Lake Street Dive honed its chops in cozy residencies. Tickets for all of those shows go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m., and part of the proceeds will benefit Oxfam America’s Syrian refugee program.
“We’re coming back to some of our fave small venues on the East Coast so we can play for you right in your face, up close and personal!” Lake Street Dive said in a statement. “The number of fans coming to our shows has skyrocketed and we are SO GRATEFUL for that, but we are also, forever and always, a ‘dive bar’ band, and it’s important for us to get back into these intimate venues from time to time and remember how good it feels!”
This is apparently one of those times, and tickets will surely vanish very quickly.
