Win Tix to Ingrid Michaelson at the El Rey
Indie acousti-songstress and myspace protege Ingrid Michaelson’s exploded into the vacant space left by Sarah McLaughlin and Dido, giving emo singletons and primetime dramas yet another soundtrack to their self-sufficient-yet-full-of-yearning melancholia. Bless her soul. She plays the El Rey Tuesday the 24th along with Greg Laswell.
She really is super good. Listen here. To win tickets, let me know which lyrics in her songs speak to you the most and why. I promise not to call you emo. It’s ok. Don’t forget to leave your contact email so I can get back to you if’n you win.
We’ve got more than tickets to give away, though! Our grand prize winner gets a copy of her latest album, Girls & Boys. w00t.

"I love the way you say good morning"….because i am a severe grumpy bug in the morning and when my girlfriend says "good morning" i cant be mad anymore. When i hear this in the song i smile cause I’m in love.
sappy but true.
"I knitted you a hat of blue and gold/To keep your ears warm from the Binghampton cold/It was my first one and it was too small/It didn’t fit you at all but you wore it just the same.
That’s from my favorite Ingrid song, "The Hat." I knit, and I have so done this!

If you’re into Ingrid definitley get there in time to check out Greg Laswell, another indie singer/songwriter. They were both on the Hotel Cafe Tour together and although his music has a bit of a sadder sound, it should appeal to the same people. His newest song is called “How the Day Sounds” and it’s on his Myspace page and almightyjukebox.com
