About Lake Street Dive
Lake Street Dive has spent the better part of two decades building one of the most reliable live reputations in modern music. They sit at a crossroads of pop, soul, jazz, and rock that shouldn’t work as well as it does — but Rachael Price’s voice is the kind of instrument that ties it all together. The band’s catalog has grown from scrappy indie-soul into polished, radio-ready material without losing the looseness that makes their live sets feel like a party.
If you want to get familiar before the show, Lake Street Dive’s catalog on Amazon is a great place to start. Their earlier records reward repeat listens.
The Venue
The Palace Theatre is exactly the right room for this band. The restored movie palace in downtown Albany has the kind of acoustics and intimacy that let you hear every vocal run and horn line — and at just under 2,800 seats, every spot feels close. It’s one of the best theaters in the Capital Region, and it cleans up beautifully for a midweek show. Street parking is available on nearby blocks, or use the garages on Beaver Street.
