Back in 2018, Lake Street Dive premiered a new song, “Shame, Shame, Shame,” that didn’t name names but was pretty much aimed at certain president in power at the time: “Bet you think you’re a big man now/But you don’t know how to be a good man too,” the band’s Rachael Price sang.

After a while, the song was dropped from the set; “it felt briefly irrelevant,” says bassist Bridget Kearney. When the group hits the road this summer and into the fall ahead of the November election,...

HBO has acquired the Oscar-nominated documentary short “When We Were Bullies,” which will premiere on March 30.

“When We Were Bullies” focuses on director Jay Rosenblatt, as he tries to track down people from his 5th grade class to interview them about a severe bullying incident that occurred at their school 50 years ago. Using a mix of archival footage, animation and modern day interviews, Rosenblatt both reconstructs the event and comes to terms with his own sense of shame about what occurred.

“Everyone carries pain,” Rosenblatt narrates in the trailer for the short that HBO released. “Yet through that pain, I can see yours.”

In addition to directing, Rosenblatt wrote, produced and edited “When We Were Bullies.” The short is one of five nominees in the best documentary short category at the 94th Academy Awards.

“When We Were Bullies” will premiere on HBO at 9 p.m Et on March 30. The short...

Although they’ve yet to be nominated for a Grammy, for whatever baffling reasons, one can only imagine the hand-wringing conversations about which category would apply to Lake Street Dive. For 15 years, they’ve been pop’s outliers: A band fronted by a lead singer with roots in jazz and cabaret, playing music that nods to Americana, R&b, pop and everything else but never fails squarely into any of those categories. Hell, Bridget Kearney even plays an upright bass.

On Obviously, they’re still oddballs, but in the best way.

Cody Jinks repurposes his 2008 song “Think Like You Think” for a new album, Katie Pruitt captures the feeling of youth in her hook-filled “Expectations,” and Luke Combs cuts loose with Brooks & Dunn on “1, 2 Many” in this week’s list of the best country and Americana songs.

Cody Jinks, “Think Like You Think”

From the baritone guitar riffs to the deep-seated vocals, “Think Like You Think” rides low in the saddle, mixing the smooth rumble of Randy Travis’ Eighties classics with a raw, honest performance that does justice to Cody Jinks’ outlaw roots.

There’s a whole lotta content out there these days, and that’s putting it mildly. IndieWire does its best to sort the jewels from the junk and keep readers up to speed on the film, TV, and digital media that’s worth their time, but not even the most avid consumers of pop culture can find room for it all on their radars. The sheer volume of stuff has made it almost impossible for people to even keep tabs on the stuff they know they want to watch; at a time when a week can feel like a year, that great new indie you read about on Monday can feel like a distant memory by the time you finally get a chance to go see it on Friday.

With that in mind, we’re excited to introduce the IndieWire Watch List, a new weekly feature that takes everything the...

Lake Street Dive is gearing up to close its year with a string of sold-out shows, including one in November at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, and now the group’s tour schedule is set to carry over into 2019 with a selection of newly announced dates with supporting performer Mikaela Davis beginning in January.

The Brooklyn-based quintet of Rachael Price, Mike “McDuck” Olson, Bridget Kearney, Mike Calabrese and Akie Bermiss has been riding a wave ever since the May 2018 release of their latest album Free Yourself Up, which landed...

Last Thursday, soul-rock outfit Lake Street Dive headlined Colorado’s famed Red Rocks Amphitheatre for the first time, topping a bill that also included singer-songwriter Josh Ritter.

The evening’s biggest surprise came during the encore, when the Boston-based quartet welcomed country star Miranda Lambert to the stage for a stunning version of “I Can Change,” an original song that appears on Lake Street Dive’s spring-released album Free Yourself Up.

The slow-burning ballad, about finding the courage to get past old mistakes, moves patiently with just gently strummed guitar chords and soothing organ accents.

The 2018 Emmy nominees for Best Main Title Theme Music are so wholly unique that it is impossible to mistake one for another. The nominees include the themes from “Godless” (Netflix), “The Last Tycoon” (Amazon), “Marvel’s The Defenders” (Netflix), “The Putin Interviews” (Showtime), “Somebody Feed Phil” (Netflix) and “The Tick” (Amazon). Emmy voters truly went their own way in this category, with “Godless” being the only show to earn a corresponding Best Series nomination.

From a rollicking Western tune to a jazzy big band number to a cheesy throwback to sitcoms of old, this category has everything you could want in a TV theme song. So which main title theme song will emerge victorious? After reading our breakdown of each of this year’s Emmy nominees, be sure to make your predictions.

“Godless” — Theme by Carlos Rafael Rivera

Carlos Rafael Rivera’s theme for “Godless” feels like an authentic Western theme without being too derivative,...

This year’s Emmy race in the music categories takes on greater interest because a win in the song category could instantly give songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul an Egot, having already won Oscar, Tony and Grammy awards.

Pasek and Paul — whose “La La Land,” “Greatest Showman” and “Dear Evan Hansen” songs have catapulted them into the front ranks of American songwriters in the past two years — are nominated for their new song, “In the Market for a Miracle,” written for Fox’s “A Christmas Story Live,” an adaptation of their 2012 stage musical.

They are just two of 28 first-time nominees in the six music categories, announced Thursday morning by the Television Academy for 2017-18 programs. Nearly 60 percent of all the music nominees are newcomers to the Emmy race. Ironically, several musicians were nominated for non-music categories: Donald Glover (“Atlanta”), John Legend and Sara Bareilles all received acting nods — and...
