Rachael Price (30 August 1985 - present)
Member Of: Lake Street Dive (2004-present), Rachael and Vilray (2017-present)
Vocal Range: E♭3 - D6
{Vocal Summary}As the lead vocalist for genre-hopping retro stars Lake Street Dive, Rachael Price's immaculate technique and soulful delivery have a knack for sounding as though they came straight from some forgotten Motown chart-topper. Her vocal style and placement is most often compared to that of late British singer Amy Winehouse, and the two singers do have a number of similarities, including a smoky, rich-sounding "blue-eyed soul" tone that comfortably descends into the mid-third octave and a surprisingly strong, if rarely used, head voice capable of piercing high notes on occasion. However, she does have quite a few qualities that set her apart- she often sounds considerably "brighter" both tonally and emotionally, preferring the playful over the provocative, and her bandmates' plentiful and lush vocal harmonies allow her ample opportunities to blend her big voice into part of a larger whole. During her journey from pubescent jazz vocal prodigy to auditorium-selling rock/soul/pop frontwoman, her vocal evolution has largely been a tale of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", though recent material has seen some more pushing of her upper register in comparison to the relatively "safe" upper-fourth-octave belting of earlier. With her excellent vibrato and control, as well as her pitch-perfect consistency in live performances, Price is an all-around remarkable vocal talent whose sound is timeless in more ways than one.
