Earlier this year, Boston’s Lake Street Dive were pegged as one of the bands to watch, and with good reason. The group’s melding of breezy indie pop, jazz and soul has won them legions of fans, and their current tour in support of February's Bad Self Portraits, their third studio effort, demonstrates the strength of their songwriting prowess. This extensive tour run sees the group playing their biggest rooms to date, and as their crowds grow, so does their popularity—Lake Street Drive has sold out nearly all of their show dates (so get tickets to tonight's show now, if you haven't already). With appearances on programs varying from The Colbert Report to The Late Show With David Letterman and The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Lake Street Drive appeals to a wide range of fans, which means mainstream success shouldn’t be too far away.
