What do Dionne Warwick, Shania Twain, The Pointer Sisters, The Cranberries, Carole King, and Bonnie Raitt all have in common?
Yes, they’re all standout musicians, but they’re also all slated to be covered by the acclaimed soulful rock band Lake Street Dive on the group’s forthcoming six-song EP, Fun Machine: The Sequel, which the band announced Friday (July 15).
Fans can check out the first track from the upcoming collection, “Nick Of Time,” a cover of the Bonnie Raitt song, below, along with a movie-style trailer announcing the new EP.
Lake Street Dive is comprised of vocalist Rachael Price; bassist/background vocalist, Bridget Kearney; drummer/background vocalist, Mike Calabrese, and keyboardist/vocalist, Akie Bermiss. And collectively, the band describes the EP in a press statement, saying, “Imagine you walk into your favorite local dive bar and Lake Street Dive is on stage, doing our regular weekly gig for $5 a head. These are the songs we’d be covering there and how we’d be playing them. Some deep cuts, some sentimental favorites, and some (hopefully) epic crowd pleasers.”
Produced by Robin MacMillan and recorded at Figure 8 Recording in Brooklyn and Lucy’s Meat Market in Los Angeles (with contributions from touring guitarist/background vocalist, James Cornelison), Fun Machine: The Sequel is the band’s second set of distinctive cover songs. While Fun Machine in 2012 paid homage to their classic R&B, neo-soul, and jazz roots, Fun Machine: The Sequel expands the scope a bit more.
Fun Machine: The Sequel will be available on vinyl (with bonus tracks) on December 9, 2022. Find special offers and fan exclusives HERE. Catch Lake Street Dive in concert throughout 2022, the full itinerary is below. Find tickets HERE.
