#Soniclunch Episode two: Michigander is back for more
Back from Lollapalooza, Michigander is back in the city of Ann Arbor to keep the party going in the Sonic Lunch series. An old friend of Taylor, Jason Singer is greeted by an old friend as well, as this isn’t his first Sonic Lunch. Michigander emanates a magnetic Midwest spirit, delivering uplifting anthems, raised even higher by six-string fireworks, empowering lyrics, and understated arena ambition. First brought to life in 2014 when the singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist was moving across his home state to Kalamazoo, Michigander has garnered the acclaim of NPR, Paste, SPIN, American Songwriter, KCRW, and many more, in addition to nearly 20 million career streams globally. In 2016, his independent debut single “Nineties” achieved viral success, claiming real estate on multiple major Spotify playlists and cracking 1 million streams on the platform. Michigander’s two previous EPs, Midland [2018] and Where Do We Go From Here [2019], have become fan favorites. The latter’s standout single “Misery” eclipsed 6 million streams and earned Michigander his first Triple-A radio hit. In September 2020, Michigander’s new era officially began with the release of “Let Down” and the folk-tinged companion track “48.” Along the way, Singer and his band have performed alongside Mt Joy, Hippo Campus, Silversun Pickups, and Tokyo Police Club and graced the stages of festivals with The National, Foster The People, Moon Taxi, and alt-j. For the emerging multi-talent, Everything Will Be Ok Eventually marks the next chapter in his growing career.
We have had multiple encounters with Michigander, like the release day of his newest album “Where do we go from here”. You can see that night here.
