April 16, 2012, Monday - Ingrid Michaelson at the Guthrie
Time: 7:30pm
Location: Wurtele Thrust Stage, Guthrie Theater, 818 Second Street South
Ingrid Michaelson’s grassroots sensibility has worked like gangbusters: Her music, often about love and relationships, has wafted out of your television in handfuls of "Grey’s Anatomy" episodes (not to mention countless other series such as "American Idol," "Parenthood," and "So You Think You Can Dance"), in an affecting Google Chrome ad, and on VH1 as an artist You Outta Know.
The New York Times marveled that she was “singing her way from obscurity to fame.” Billboard trumpeted her as the face of the new music business. NPR declared, “Ingrid Michaelson is everywhere.” As an independent artist she has sold over 750,000 albums and 3 million singles. With her new album Human Again, Michaelson throws a wrench in her reputation as the Crafter of Dainty Love Songs. One of her most gutting compositions from the album and first single, Ghost, is a hushed reflection on lost romance that unfurls ruefully from its opening line, “Do remember when the walls fell?” From there, Michaelson plumbs the breadth of human emotion.
