New York-based indie artist Ingrid Michaelson has carried the tradition of the female singer/songwriter into the 21st century. Befitting a musician of the digital age, Michaelson first gained wide exposure not through sales but instead through tracks on soundtracks, including Grey’s Anatomy and One Tree Hill. Born and raised on New York’s Staten Island to an artist mother and classical composer father, she began exploring music with piano lessons at the age of four. After college, she toured with a national theater troupe and spent her free time writing songs, later compiling them into an online-distributed recording entitled Slow the Rain which was was released in 2005, and she has since released six more albums, Girls and Boys, Be OK, Everybody, Human Again, Lights Out and It Doesn’t Have to Make Sense. Hits include Hits “The Way I Am,” “Be OK,” “Girls Chase Boys,” and “Everybody.” A music supervisor for Old Navy just happened to hear “The Way I Am” and snapped it up for one of the company’s commercials. The song ultimately went platinum. Radio play followed and the rest is history. Her EP “Alter Egos” was released May 2017 which featured reinterpretations of songs from the album and included guest appearances from Tegan and Sara, Lucius, Sara Bareilles, and others. Don’t miss the chance to see this great artist perform live.
