[TICKET GIVEAWAY] Ingrid Michaelson w/ AJR | Nov. 10 @ The Ryman Auditorium

In support of her seventh studio album Doesn’t Have to Make Sense, lovably quirky and insightful songwriter Ingrid Michaelson is heading to The Ryman Auditorium for a headlining gig on Nov. 10. This time around, she’s bringing DIY indie pop outfit AJR along for a night of inspired and fun music. With hits like “The Way I Am,” “Girls Chase Boys” and her anthemic single “Hell No,” concertgoers are in for a real treat. You can still snag tickets right here, but we’re also giving away a pair of tickets to one random reader, so enter for a chance to win and find out more about the lineup below!

INGRID MICHAELSON 

If you were living anywhere but under a rock in 2007, you probably heard Ingrid Michaelson‘s single “The Way I Am” playing in every coffee shop and television commercial. Her sudden rise to fame came after she independently released her second album, Girls and Boys, and streamed it on MySpace (RIP). Her music caught the ear of a Grey’s Anatomy producer, which sparked a wave of interest from fans and record labels alike. She quickly followed up the release with a new album, Be OK, and a lead single of the same name. The quirky, light-hearted but honest feel of her previous single was found throughout the record, and helped cement her as talent with staying power.

She’s kept a steady output of music over the years, and found another hit with 2014’s infectious single “Girls Chase Boys.” In August, she released  her seventh studio album, It Doesn’t Have to Make Sense, a purely indie-pop record that shows an evolution from plucky ukulele ballads to soulful, anthemic jams. Her current single, “Hell No,” is a delightful diss to a lying ex. Check out the Snapchat-filled video below and snag your tickets to her Ryman appearance before they sell out.

AJR

New York City-based indie pop outfit AJR evolved from a simple cover band to one of the most impressive DIY groups around. Comprised of brothers Adam, Jack, and Ryan Met, the trio cites everyone from Vampire Weekend to Kanye West as inspirations. In 2013, they made waves with their debut single “I’m Ready,” which featured a strangely hypnotizing sample from SpongeBob SquarePants. The track was a viral hit in multiple countries and catapulted them up the charts. Since their impressive breakthrough, they’ve released two EPs (2013 I’m Ready EP and 2014’s Infinity EP) and a full-length LP, Living Room, in 2015. Now, the trio is back with the brand new What Everybody’s Thinking EP, and their anti-fame anthem “I’m Not Famous.” Check out the tune below and get to the show early to check them out for yourself.
