Ingrid Michaelson and her band played the Best Buy Theater in NYC on 10/13/10.
Entering to Led Zep's 'Immigrant Song', the band uncovered, then covered the song.
Ingrid was funny, sincere and talented as usual. Her band is a tight musical unit and good friends too.

Ingrid Michaelson, her wonderful band and friend Greg Laswell held their third annual Holiday Hop at City Winery on Monday, December 21st, 2009.
Her good friend (very very good friend?) Greg Laswell opened the show.
This is a really talented, very tight band. The multi-talented Bess Rogers is hidden in this shot unfortunately.

This was show number 50. I'll post more about the project and an incredible year of music after Xmas. The amazing Nick Sonderup of 100bandsin100days and his muse Sunshine joined my wife and I for dinner and the show. Make sure you check Nick's blog for the soon-to-be-released short documentary of his project. Stay tuned for a new music blog by Nick with some photography by me if I'm lucky.
Show # 50!

Ingrid Michaelson and her band at City Winery 3/12/09
The night after her moving performance at the R.E.M. Tribute at Carnegie Hall, Ingrid brought the whole band to City Winery.
Ingrid by herself is a great artist, but she has surrounded herself with very talented people who complement her music perfectly.
Ingrid's band is:
Ingrid Michaelson -- vocals/piano
Allie Moss -- guitar/vocals
Elliot Jacobson -- drums
Chris Kuffner -- bass
Bess Rogers -- guitar
One of the highlights was Ingrid and Chris performing her amazing cover of R.E.M.'s Nighswimming. Here's their version from Later with Jools Holland.
Sorry to Elliot Jacobson. Just never got a good shot of him all night.

So I'm starting the official 50showsat50 year six weeks before my 50th Birthday with this show. Whereever I can I'll post my own photos like this one.
I discovered Ingrid Michaelson just a couple of weeks ago. I'm a subscriber to RadioIO on the net, and kept hearing her and thinking "I like this." I bought "Be Ok" and within a day added "Girls and Boys."
Her Holiday Hop '08 was going to be the last show before she took a break from a year and a half of touring and I jumped on the last official tickets available. Ticketmaster's 'TicketsNow' premium seating. I paid a lot, but ended up front row center. Won't be able to go to a lot of shows buying tickets this way.
Ingrid is a great performer. Comfortable in her own skin and very entertaining even when she's not singing. She has assembled a great band whose playing and singing complement her voice perfectly. They are:
Allie Moss - Guitar/Vocals
Bess Rogers - Guitar
Chris Kuffner - Bass/Vocals
Elliot Jacobson - Drums

- You can hear her for yourself. NPR and WXPN are streaming a show.
