Michigander Michigander LP

The last decade has seen Michigander quietly emerge as a 21st century troubadour whose deft balance of rock energy, alternative adventurousness, and heart-on-his-sleeve songcraft continues to endear audiences and tastemakers alike.

Born in Michigan and based in Nashville, singer, songwriter, and producer Jason Singer has steadily progressed one gig and release at a time. However, he truly steps into his own on his self-titled full-length debut album, Michigander.

"The last ten years were awesome," he says. "Everything built up to this point though. To make an analogy, the EPs were like television episodes of my story, and the album is the movie version. It's blown up on the big screen. I'm just getting started, but this is my introduction to the world."

Throughout a busy 2024, he crafted what would become Michigander. Inspired by the likes of TV On The Radio, Blur, Idles, and The National, he embraced a newfound confidence and continued to sonically break down boundaries, taking his time.

It's impossible not to root for Singer, whose mix of optimism and vulnerability in his music has been one of indie rock's most exciting stories in the last few years.
