Lake Street Dive

CRITIC’S PICK: Wed.-Sat. Oct. 10-12. Lake Street Dive, The Eastern—Kudos to Boston’s pop-rockers Lake Street Dive for playing a smaller venue for three nights rather than a larger, less intimate one for a single gig. Now a quintet, the Rachael Price fronted outfit finds the sunny side up on their soulful, lightly funky ditties, guaranteed to leave you feeling better after their show than when you arrived. It wouldn’t hurt to get acquainted with their recent release, Good Together, beforehand since that excellent new disc will likely dominate the set. Anyone who thinks frisky pop music is disposable needs to bathe in the sweet, upbeat and optimistic sounds of Lake Street Dive. — Hal Horowitz
