In our new series, Band of the Month, we’re introducing you to the best and brightest up-and-coming musicians that should be on your radar – and more importantly, on your workout playlist. This month, we’re excited to highlight LAKEVIEW, a country duo comprised of best friends Jesse Denaro and Luke Healy.
Now if you’re wondering how a country band is going to motivate you to crush your lifts, hop on over to Spotify (or whatever streaming service you prefer), and listen to ‘Home Team.’ I promise you won’t be wondering anymore – but you will be amped and ready to hit the gym, so proceed with caution.
The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based duo is more than just your traditional country band, though. Drawing inspiration from various genres including country, soul, and rock ‘n’ roll, LAKEVIEW’s members get their unique sound from Denaro and Healy’s shared background in metal music. A heartbreak, some late shifts at a shared bouncing job, and a few all-nighters spent songwriting later, and they decided to give country a try. The rest is history, and LAKEVIEW’s now tearing up the country scene.
While they do have a few songs that feel more like driving on a summer night with the windows down (if this is your vibe, give ‘Eyes Closed’ a listen), we’re here to help you add some songs to your gym playlist, so without further ado, here are five songs you should be listening to this month:
You can listen to LAKEVIEW’s entire discography here, and give them a follow @lakeviewcountry to stay up to date on all their latest releases, tour dates, and news. Check back next month for another new Band of the Month!
