Lake Street Flames | 2021
Lake Street Flames is a “classic single” with the A side being the title track and the B side featuring No Change Coming. These songs were written during the racial justice uprising of 2020 on Lake Street as fires, sirens, protesters, helicopters, troops with their armored vehicles and automatic weapons, tear gas, destruction, and yells swirled all around.
