RACHAEL PRICE “What I'm Doing Here”

Rachael Price, the powerhouse vocalist behind the band Lake Street Dive, isn't your average singer. With a voice that swings effortlessly between smoky jazz and soulful blues, she captivates audiences with her impressive range and undeniable stage presence. “When Rachael Price opens her mouth and lets loose with her cool cannon blast of a voice, you sort of forget to breathe,” wrote Rolling Stone.

Tina Turner Review - "a music legend and inspiration to divas everywhere"... “Even after the countless awards, the 180 million album sales, the record-breaking tours, and unforgettable acting roles, Tina will be remembered most through the sheer joy of her music,” Max Lousada, chief executive of recorded music for Warner Music Group, said in a statement. “So powerful is her extraordinary, universal appeal that there is no doubt she will continue to influence generations to come. She stands as the epitome of artistic self-empowerment.”
