Lake Street Dive and Yola share a bill at Dillon Amphitheatre in Dillon, Colorado, on Saturday. From there, Lake Street Dive heads a few hours north for a sold-out show at Mishawaka Amphitheatre in Bellevue on Sunday, while Yola heads to Los Angeles for a performance at the Hollywood Bowl as special guest of Lord Huron and Shakey Graves.

Lake Street Dive’s 2018 album, Free Yourself Up, “strives to empower and liberate in an age of turmoil,” says WFUV. “It’s a confident collection of songs that reflects the quartet’s nearly decade-and-a-half of music making.”

Yola’s Dan Auerbach–produced debut album, Walk Through Fire, has been named one of The Best Albums of 2019 (So Far) by NPR Music, which says it’s an “exhilarating” album that “encapsulates country-soul lustiness, plushly orchestrated pop transcendence and a range of expression both subtle and striking.”
