Listen with headphones and focus on that gorgeous BASS LINE by bridgett kierney….My mind is blown. Now, my better half is a classically trained bass player. I shared this with him, and he smiled from beginning to end. And did the jaw drop i anticipated near the end!!! Oh man, this human on the bass- She is singing on the bass. Do you hear it? 🤯you all must!!!! 😄😎👍

[@JonMcLeodMelbourne]

I’m in Australia watching this band and thinking they’re the best thing I’ve heard in years. That voice is massive, rich, and expressive. Bass is incredible. These people are not fooling around.

[@christianbutler4684]

If they are so good then why haven't they composed anything of there own instead of butchering Hall and Oates and Paul McCartney and wings tune let me roll it If you want to plagerise someone else's work and add instruments at keep up with the original tempo

[@cometsmommy]

@@christianbutler4684 not plagiarizing if they are generating royalties for whoever holds the copywrite. Pretty much the only upright bass in contemporary music and she kills it. a killer horn player, and amazing lead and backup vocals and an unique arrangement that is every bit as good as the original. each of them attended the New England Conservatory of Music, so you basically have no idea what you are talking about. You should check out Good Kisser, one of many of their original songs.

[@tomcoryell]

@@christianbutler4684 You apparently haven’t heard their originals. They are great! There isn’t a singer currently on the scene that comes close to Rachael Price. The bassist is an excellent songwriter and a great singer as well. As a songwriter myself, I can assure you that when Hall & Oates and Paul McCartney get their quarterly ASCAP statements they are happy that Lake Street Dive is covering their songs.

This is one of the best covers of any song I've ever heard.

[@PandoraTheOriginal]

It’s a pretty good cover for sure; the bass is amazing. So is Hendrix cover of Dylan’s Watchtower. Elton John covered Lucy ITSWD by the Beatles. John Mayer did an amazing cover of Dylan Like a Rolling Stone. Elvis covered many famous gospel tunes.

[@lightsatsparkwood21]

She's a bloody good bass player.

[@chrisanderson6928]

You can say that again. Rachael's voice is great, but without Bridget on bass, I think this whole thing falls apart.

[@DezinrGrl]

I think they are all excellent and it wouldn't be the same w/o any of them ... it would be a different band then!! ;-)

[@jena9956]

Gah that bass player is killing it!!!! She is fabulous.

[@Doohickie]

Yes, probably the best stand up bass player I've ever heard.

[@teknikgroup7597]

oh my.....the tones and strings shaking on the wood...and the shaking bass end.....PLUS the mere $$$ of the instrument...WOW WOW WOW. dont need many other instruments with one of these rebellious bad boys around.

[@singingqueen644]

With the perfect backup singing too

[@harrisontx]

Home girl is KILLING IT on that stand up bass!

[@jhwk1970]

I keep trying to figure out how Bridgett Kearney's upright bass playing effectively takes the place of Darryl Hall's 6 piece band. She does it all by herself back there. Dang she's special. Oh yes, I enjoyed the rest of it too.

[@nwilczyn]

Don McKenzie oh! because it doesn't.

[@florarodruges8660]

Don McKenzie I hear that!

[@irimiriam2934]

Mood

[@jesstowns10]

Don- One of Bridgett's secrets is the drummer. He's not only playing polyrhythms with the snare and bass drum, he's also playing a tambourine!

[@ChrisGoodsontechfac]

@josh grant Absolutely! And she does it like a master. I had to listen to this a few times to really get what she's doing.

[@mirandavallese1717]

I want them to go on Live From Daryl's House!! They'd sound so good.

indeed

[@jeffgaumond4250]

Sooooo good. The New England Conservatory of Music should be very proud of their four accomplished graduates.

[@mattguest6326]

I think that it was this performance that made me decide to be major fan. The control that all four musicians show over their parts, but the way that they're all feeding off of each other, and then to invite the crowd to sing a verse and seamlessly integrate that into the performance-- It's frickin' magic. This is what makes live music into magic. Great job also by the producers and videographers for capturing this. I feel like I was there. This is about my 20th time watching it, and I still get chills.

[@marksmith7121]

Rachael is such an incredible singer. The whole group, really. I can’t believe they haven’t gone bigger!

[@hisroyalhighness8566]

They're a little too hipstery to be mainstream

[@adamfurnish8481]

If you’re in the mainstream nowadays it just means you suck. At least most of the time😂 They’re too good to be on the radio

[@mateusferr.]

They are real artists, thats why. Midia mainstrain wants puppets, not ART.

[@DR-mc7fn]

Bigger? How big is big enough? They're big enough for me, I spend my time listening to them, and I couldn't care for them to be more successful, as long as they have fun, that's all that matters for me, because they're fun is mine too (and your's!) :)

[@crv20051]

love the way that trumpet just rides with the voices and bass, great touch, just bright enough to come in and play, but never takes over the lead voice--what a mix.

[@BarneyDavey]

What an incredible collection of virtuosos? Rachael Price is a force of nature on vocals and Bridget Kearney on bass is equally her match and then some! How is this group not a national treasure?

[@michaelmercuri4884]

The BEST group in the world, so much talent, the bass player is outstanding and Rachael is a goddess, love Bridget too.

[@jtbass891]

Yes! Bridgets funky / syncopated bass playing and rich sound of the upright are key, which is allowed to shine because the drummer is stripped down to essentials and the band knows dynamics and of course is just talented. The clean guitar and surprise trumpet playing are also key part of the vibe.

[@lakai958]

One of the best upright bassists I've seen. Wow

[@tommorrow3800]

Amazing!!! Her voice is superb...The Bass player is completely LIGHTS OUT!

[@brookeelisa3003]

I love how the lead singer controls the dynamics of the song so effortlessly. That also comes with talented musicians around her taking her vocal cues, watching her body language, and meshing so beautifully together, so props to them too!!

[@edwardcase]

Tell Rachel something special for me if you can: "Dear Rachel, I've been lonely, depressed, bored stupid and feeling hopeless for over a year. I listened to your singing today, on KZbin, and watched you and the band. I cried. I feel like a new person. I had lost hope on life. I don't know exactly why, but listening to you has revived me."

What constitutes a riff? i'm illiterate to music lingo

[@kilmcm45]

@@sum2085 any progression of notes or chords that an artist finds appealing....it's a smallish section of the greater song. For instance a song may contain a 14 note or chord bridge, that repeats a 7 note or chord progression...or riff.

Duke Ellington was wrong. "There are two kinds of music, the good kind, and the other kind." This music is the great kind. Her voice is incredible, but it's perfectly lifted to transcendence by the band. It's not just one song either, everything this group does is gold.
