Rogue Wave plays “Lake Michigan” on Lake Michigan
A partial goal for our Summer Undercover series is to get our pasty staff members out into the sun, and with some help from Rogue Wave—who put out the excellent Nightingale Floors this year—we had one of the best days of the year on a boat, the Tall Ship Windy. For their cover, Rogue Wave played Duran Duran’s “Rio,” which was highly appropriate, and since they were already set up, they played a few extra songs for us. Also appropriate: the band’s own “Lake Michigan,” because that’s where we were sailing. The weather report scared us a bit, threatening wind and storms, but it turned out to be one of the most beautiful days of the year, complete with beautiful music. (And no actual rogue waves to, y’know, kill us.) Enjoy “Lake Michigan.” We did.
