- We're celebrating Lake Street Dive's new album Free Yourself Up with a series of concert releases. Here, God Awful Things is performed in Jordan Hall by Lake Street Dive with the NEC Jazz Orchestra and Philharmonia Strings, written by Mike Olson '05 and arranged and conducted by Ken Schaphorst, chair of Jazz Studies at NEC.
Lake Street Dive band members feel strongly about the importance of their NEC education. “It’s so important to really know technique and theory-these are such a gift for existing in a world of pop and rock and roll. These allow us to compose and improvise … we’re so lucky to have had this from NEC,” says band member Bridget Kearney.
Mike Olson continues, “We’ve taken our NEC jazz education, tucked it under our arm, and are running as fast as we can … We work really fast and efficiently-we have this framework in which we can work. We all speak the same language at a very high degree, and that comes from NEC.”
After meeting while students at NEC in the early 2000s, Lake Street Dive has catapulted to stardom. The foursome-vocalist Rachael Price '07, trumpet/guitar player Mike Olson '05, stand-up bassist Bridget Kearney '08 Tufts/NEC, and drummer Mike Calabrese '07-have filled major concert venues all over the country, and have been seen and heard on NPR, "A Prairie Home Companion," and everywhere music is heard.
