New York doll Ingrid Michaelson will be performing at the WDST Mountain Jam Festival tomorrow before launching her national headlining tour this Sunday, June 1st, in the City of Brotherly Love (Jessica will be there to cover it!).
Earlier this year, she headlined the sold out Hotel Café Tour and performed on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” promoting her self-released sophomore album Boys and Girls, which has garnered nothing but critical acclaim since it 2006 release. Hit single “The Way I Am” was featured in an Old Navy commercial last fall, propelling it to over 630,000 digital downloads.
In addition to taking over television waves with her beautiful music, Michaelson is also one of four musicians to compose original songs for bestselling author Augusten Burroughs‘ new audiobook, A Wolf at the Table. “Spare Change,” inspired from the text, appears exclusively alongside songs from artists Patti Smith, Sea Wolf, and Tegan Quin from Tegan and Sara. Earlier this month, she performed in the children’s ward at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City as part of the Fifth Annual Project Sunshine Gala, raising money for free programs and services to children and families who are affected by serious medical challenges.
When her headlining tour wraps in early July, Michaelson will perform at several festivals, including Philadelphia’s XPoNential Music Festival, Milwaukee’s Summerfest and the Mile High Festival in Denver, CO before a string of dates opening for Dave Matthews Band in stadium-sized venues. She can also bee seen playing Austin City Limits this fall.
