No one plays the upright bass better than Bridget Kearney. No one.

[@angelinamclaughlin-heil]

Agreed!😍

[@jimmeek7849]

I'd play her bass fiddle

[@fishhuntadventure]

Ok. So I guess it’s too bad for all those sad others who play great bass. Being one of the greatest is better than being the best. Because no one is ever the best or the greatest.

I wasn’t ready for the keyboardist to hit us with vocals like the son of Stevie 😳

He makes solo material too!! Definitely check him out

[@dionnewillis2374]

Yaas! Exactly right!

[@micahchapman8187]

I don’t like his vocals at all. I always wish that Rachael would sing his parts lol

[@bh8365]

Saw him playing keys on the first LSD video that I stumbled upon. Their Beatles roof top cover of "Don't Bring Me Down". McDuck, the guitarist was represented as a cardboard cut out. Rachael portrayed John.

[@Jig-nonymous]

I will forever Love Lake Street Dive. Rachael has an amazing voice that I would take over any American female singer. Bridget's bass speaks for itself. I went to BU and was in college around the time they got starter. I swear I have been on the very corner they filmed their cover of "I Want You Back". Wish I could have seen them perform back then

[@michaelkutulas8878]

Okay, I don't want to take away anything from the rest of this band, who are just excellent in every respect, but I have to point out that this bass player is making that standup sound like a bass guitar, which absolutely blows my mind! Her timing, chops, tone and intonation are phenomenal! And ironically, I think it's the goal of many a bass guitarist to make their instrument sound like a standup bass... I'm so in awe here!

[@tomhankins5543]

I also recommend Bridget Kearney's earlier work on bass in another band, Joy Kills Sorrow, if you're not familiar. Cheers.

Yet again, Tiny Desk shows me a band/artist that I feel like I should have been listening to for years, yet had never heard of until clicking on the video. Lake Street Dive is EXACTLY what I needed to hear today, I'm in love with this jazzy, funky, pop-like sound.

[@trigonzobob]

True. Reminds me of John ‍Entwistle (RIP).

[@hanswurst495]

true. if only he'd use a more decent guitar.

[@chrisgblues]

Actually there is a long list of guitar players who move very little and contribute a lot: David Gilmour comes to mind first. This guitarist here is either out of tune or he’s just hitting a lot of flat notes by mistake, either way he is the weak point in this otherwise stellar band IMHO.

LSD is such a great band. I absolutely love them. Sad to hear of McDucks departure but I wish him all the best. He surely will be missed.

[@geomaddox]

Hypotheticals was the first song I ever heard by them and I swear I’ve I listened to it everyday since they dropped that album

[@patrickharrison4763]

Right now I'm that guy who keeps singing the same song over and over again out loud annoying all his friends, and I'm okay with it because it's that good of a song

[@trigonzobob]

Shame, Shame, Shame was probably the first Lake Street Dive song I ever heard - on my local public radio station in 2018. Didn't know who they were but then found their cover of Take On Me and I've been a huge fan ever since. My favorite is Rachel's vocals on "What I'm Doing Here"

[@mariacromero]

If I were Rachael Price I would never just talk. I’d sing everything down to my pizza order. LSD is one of those bands that is so good you want the whole world to know about them. I was so happy to see them featured on Tiny Desk! Love the new stuff-but if you’ve never heard of them before, check out Bad Self Portraits, You Go Down Smooth, and some of their covers (like Faith). Anymore literally made me cry but their party jams can lift your spirits and defy you not to dance during tough times.

As a member of the next generation, Making Do really hits

McDuck plays so quietly but effectively in that clean tone the whole time. Amazing. Love the gold plate, cream colored tele too.

One morning my clock radio woke me up with "Good Kisser" and I sat up like I'd been hit with 240 volts. Could not understand what year it was or how this sound had escaped my notice. That was right when "Free Yourself Up" was released, and I've been on the train ever since. Blown away with each new release, and lucky to have seen them in Taos a couple years back. No better band today. Thanks, Tiny Desk!

And that keys player, that is Stevie Wonder incarnate. Amazing show and amazing band!

Like last tiny desk was Justin Bieber like I'm sure he started from humble beginnings before a major label swooped him up.

@@CiderSessions They've been having major label musicians on for a long time. Adele was on Tiny desk a decade ago. T Pain was on in 2013, John Legend in 2012. I love hearing great indy artists too, but I also like hearing major label artists people are familiar with recontextualized in the cozy, usually semi-acoustic setting of Tiny Desk. They do a lot of these, and there's plenty of room for both.
