SUMMARY:Lake Street Dive
DESCRIPTION:Lake Street Dive have pushed the possibilities of pop music as a unifying force\, not only through their eclectic sound—a boldly original cross-pollination of soul\, folk\, jazz\, classic pop\, and more—the five-piece’s all-embracing ethos has also made them a beloved live band known for building a potent connection among every crowd. \n  \nIn the making of their new album Good Together\, vocalist Rachael Price\, bassist/background vocalist Bridget Kearney\, drummer/background vocalist Mike Calabrese\, keyboardist/vocalist Akie Bermiss\, and guitarist/background vocalist James Cornelison reinforced the deep sense of purpose behind their output\, often turning their attention to the many factors driving us apart today (e.g.\, unchecked technological growth\, culturally imposed isolation\, the cult of relentless self-optimization). Born from a mindset they refer to as “joyful rebellion\,” Good Together arrives as a body of work both gloriously defiant and primed to inspire unbridled dancing and ecstatic singing-along. \n  \nLake Street Dive continue to fully embody the effusive sense of togetherness and mutual care embraced throughout Good Together. “At this point our tastes in music differ more than they ever have\, but we’re still able to bring all those influences together with a real love and respect for the diversity within the band\,” says Price. “I think the main thing that’s kept us going over the years is that very strong foundation of friendship—everyone has a voice\, everyone gets heard\, and we’re all really careful about looking out for each other’s happiness. \nLake Street Dive – About

Join us for Shabang 2025 on May 2 & 3 in San Luis Obispo\, CA for a journey through the Central Coast. Shabang was born in 2014 from a few friends with the idea to throw a concert on a mountain. With an attendance of 20\, nobody envisioned what the show called ‘Shabang’ would become. As the sun set and the music guided the herd into the unknown\, an overwhelming sense of warmth and euphoria spread through the sparse crowd. They had started something special. The vibe was too good to stop there\, so the friends kept it alive and rolling\, and here we are today… \nFour Live Stages | 50+ Live Acts | Silent Disco | Funk Safari | Shabang University | Experiential Art Installations | Interactive Workshops | Movement Classes | Artisan Vendors | Curated Food\, Drinks and more!
