Michigander w/ Sydney Sprague$20 adv / $25 dosDoors 6PMMichigander, who delivers elevated and eloquent songcraft, uplifting instrumentation, and plainspoken heartland storytelling punctuated by alternative flare, has racked up over 60 million career streams globally and garnered the acclaim of NPR, Paste, Consequence, SPIN, Forbes, BrooklynVegan, Guitar World, Ones To Watch, and more. In 2016, the now Nashville-based singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist's independent debut single "Nineties" achieved viral success, claiming real estate on multiple major Spotify playlists. Michigander's first two EPs, Midland [2018] and Where Do We Go From Here [2019], have become fan favorites, with the latter's standout single "Misery" eclipsing 10 million streams and earning Michigander his first Triple A radio hit. 2021's critically lauded EP Everything Will Be Ok Eventually (C3 Records) elevated his career via the Top 5 Triple A radio hit "Let Down" and Top 10 Triple A radio hit "Better." On the road, Michigander has shared the stage with Manchester Orchestra, Band of Horses, The Lumineers, Hippo Campus, Mt. Joy, and graced the stages of such marquee festivals as Lollapalooza, Electric Forest, Summerfest, Shaky Knees and more as well as SXSW. In 2023, Michigander was back, breaking personal records, charting at radio again, and on the road with a new set of songs and a re-energized passion for his craft. Listen to the latest EP It Will Never Be The Same everywhere, out now via C3 Records and look out for a new project coming from Singer in '24.<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.michiganderband.com/">https://www.michiganderband.com</a>Sydney Sprague channels her sadness, anxiety, and existential dread through driving guitars,shimmering melodies, and the deceptively sweet weapons of indie pop-rock and keen observation.Self-aware with a knowing injection of dark humor, her songs summon the best of 90s alt-rock andclassic power-pop without sacrificing a melancholy befitting of the end times. Her music is intimate,vulnerable, confrontational, autobiographical, and strangely uplifting. Her sophomore record,somebody in hell loves you, is as devilishly saccharine as the title implies, boldly accessible andsmart.The positive press, word-of-mouth, and a stellar tour with Jimmy Eat World and DashboardConfessional helped make organic streaming hits out of songs like “steve,” “quitter,” and “i refuse todie”; “object permanence” boasts nearly 1 million streams on Spotify alone. “As a smaller artist, it’salmost impossible financially,” Sydney says of her relentless schedule. “But I love it so much.”Sydney wrote most of somebody in hell loves you during the pandemic lockdowns, and yet, it’sdecidedly less angsty than its predecessor. “And not because I’m a less angsty person,” she clarifies.“Obviously, none of us were in a good place in 2020. It was a depressing time. But I didn’t want towallow in that. I wrote more as an exercise to distract myself from my woes.” A lot of the songsbecame observational storytelling, exploring the drama of people around her and revisiting her past.Important notice re COVID-19: Please note any interaction with the general public poses an elevated risk of being exposed to COVID-19 and we cannot guarantee that you will not be exposed while in attendance at the event.
