Lake Street Dive brings community and joy to Mohegan Sun Arena

On Friday, April 10th, New England’s own Lake Street Dive took the stage at Mohegan Sun Arena, unknowingly playing to one of their largest crowds to date. The genre-bending multi-instrumentalists are touring off the success of their 2024 album, “Good Together,” which explores the intricacies and truths of their lives in a vibrant, inventive, and authentic manner. After a jazzy opening from opener Carrtoons, Lake Street Dive opened with an honest, nearly accapella “Hypotheticals,” a hit track from their 2021 album Obviously, pulling the massive room into something that felt surprisingly intimate.
