After years of grinding to refine his craft on stages of all sizes, Singer's career was poised to take off like never before. Michigander, his band, was riding high on a wave a fan in critical Acclaim that seem to follow wherever they went. They had songs ready to go, festival dates booked, and the highest hopes that everything would work out. We all know what happens next. By mid-March, Michigander's plans for the rest of 2020 began going up in smoke. The record they were working on was pushed back. The festivals were delayed or canceled altogether. The itinerary that once seemed so full now only contained a single drive-in concert with Mt. Joy on the outskirts of Chicago. It was more than many had to look forward to last year, especially where music is concerned, but it was a far cry from what Singer was expecting. When we encounter hardships in life, we often learn something important about ourselves. Many people may have taken the blows Jason was dealt in 2020 and chosen to hang up their career. Others may have allowed themselves to get angry as if the world or the universe was working against them. Some people may have even broken down in tears. But Jason Singer is not everyone, and the music he makes with his closest friends is unlike anything anyone else could offer. Michigander speaks to our souls. Their music taps directly into your soul to talk to that little voice that is always afraid to rock the boat. They make it OK to feel whatever you're feeling and spread a message of acceptance that works to unite listeners from all walks of life. Michigander understands that we are all in this together, even if we often feel alone. On the latest episode of inside music, host James Shotwell calls Jason Singer over zoom to discuss his career. The two dig into the newest Michigander EP, Everything Will Be OK Eventually, as well as the impending return of live music. Jason shares some of the more memorable moments of the past year, including the day he heard his song playing at a grocery store. He even hints at what the future may hold for his career.
