Lake Street Dive celebrates 20th anniversary with ‘Good Together’ tour at Merriweather
Lake Street Dive is celebrating its 20th anniversary with the "Good Together" tour, which stops at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, this weekend. This performance marks the band's first at this specific venue, despite their extensive history of playing in the region. Drummer Mike Calabrese expressed excitement about returning to Maryland, recalling their early days playing in intimate clubs across Washington, D. C. , and Baltimore.
The tour is named after a track from their latest album, symbolizing both their longevity as a band and the importance of connection in their music. Calabrese emphasized that the themes of their songs focus on the ability to connect with others, which has been crucial to their success over the past two decades. Formed in Boston in 2004, Lake Street Dive's unique blend of pop-soul, alt-jazz, and folk-rock has captivated audiences. The band originally met at the New England Conservatory of Music, and their original lineup has evolved while maintaining a strong musical identity. As they continue to perform, Lake Street Dive remains committed to celebrating the connections they foster through their music.
