Ingrid Michaelson @ Workplay

My friend Tina had two tickets to see this Indie chick that her daughter had turned her on to at Workplay last night. She asked if I wanted to go, and me always being up for something new, said sure, why not. After downloading a song or two just to get a feeling o what I was getting myself into, I wasn't completely convinced, but she was decent so I figured it would be a good time with good company regardless.

After a great dinner, as always, at Newks. We headed to Workplay, where I once again was reminded why I love having a little car, you can park anywhere! There weren't any tables available so we introduced ourselves to a nice couple and asked if we could share their booth. They obliged, because the south is full of wonderfully nice people who just do things like that.

The opening act was an adorable little British boy, yes I said boy. I'm still not convinced he was over 20, but he was playing up the crowd. It helped that the majority of the crowd surrounding the stage was most likely still in high school and they were swooning over the English accent. I won't say I wasn't immune to the accent. Tina and I bought his album after the show, so his charm worked on us too.

But to the point of this post. Ingrid Michaelson. Wow. She was phenomenal. I am so glad I went and have now downloaded her entire discography. Here is one of her more popular songs. The video is a little weird, but the song is great. Warning... it will get stuck in your head. The Way I Am . On top of being a great singer, the show was highly entertaining. She was so down to earth and was cracking jokes. She seemed like the kind of person who you could just hang out with. And they sang a song about mexican food, so there you go. If you were looking for some other good songs of hers I would recommend: The Chain, Incredible Love, Breakable, Far Away and Soldier.
