Michigander

Michigander

We sat down with Michigander, the rising alternative band led by Jason Singer. A conversation sprinkled with random Trader Joe’s appreciation took us everywhere from an exclusive look at Michigander’s inner workings and opening for Bernie Sanders, to the trials of the livestream era. Michigander is humble and authentic to the core, really opening up to us about the oddities of this industry, like how his new song “Let Down” randomly got picked up by Fortnite or he made the cover of Apple’s Alt Centric playlist without even meaning to. When we asked him what his dreams were for Michigander, he dug out his journal and walked us through his 2-year and 5- year goals. The vision, perspective and drive of Michigander is eminent, and it truly shines through in their music. Their 2021 EP Everything Will Be Ok Eventually fortifies this authenticity. The EP explores a new sonic palette, incorporating synth elements beyond the usual bounds of a rock band, and ultimately creates a soundtrack for chasing after your dreams. Many artists have felt the isolation of quarantine put their creativity on hold, but Michigander is plunging ahead, already working on the next set of songs. He’s itching to get back on tour and share this new catalog of anthems free from the confines of a computer screen, and we’ll be front row when he does. “I’m so sick of sitting in my room, like I’m going to be done with this, shut my computer, and it’s gonna be dead silent… I wish I was wherever you guys are so I could make you guys laugh and tell you about Trader Joe’s some more…” Get the full Michigander experience by listening to our new episode of “Music You’re Missing” on Spotify and Apple Podcasts! You can also listen to songs from Michigander’s new EP Everything Will Be Ok Eventually on our featured Spotify playlists. https://linktr.ee/MusicYoureMissing@MichiganderBand @MusicYoureMissing
