This third installment should also be the final for now, as far as I know!
We returned to the Rams Head tonight to see Ingrid Michaelson — a brand-new artist to me.
I noticed her show highlighted in the Rams Head e-mail newsletter last week. They listed her as an “emerging new artist” and that her music has been featured on Grey’s Anatomy.
The Rams Head write-up (not updated to reflect the actual season finale date) said:
Michaelson’s crystalline tones blend Joni Mitchell’s soft-edged vocal shifting with shades of Regina Spektor’s witty kookiness. In the last five months, four of her songs have soundtracked the life, death and sex dramas on ABC’s blockbuster medical series, “Grey’s Anatomy.” Last Thursday’s season finale — featuring Michaelson’s “Keep Breathing” and will be included in the Grey’s Anatomy, Vol. 3 Soundtrack, to be released in September.
Despite the poor structure of that last sentence … I went to her site, listened to her songs on myspace and decided we should go!
I did remember “Keep Breathing” as one of the main songs in the season finale, and really like her sound.
I don’t know where they get the Joni comparison from, but you can definitely hear the Regina. Ingrid is a great singer, and an enjoyable performer.
Another great show to cap off our three concerts in four nights! (And another artist I will be playing repeatedly!)
