Michigander

Michigander is the moniker for singer-songwriter Jason Singer, although it originally was the name of his band. He is known for his upbeat, heavily pop-infused indie rock and songs with an optimistic emotional uplift. His music comes with the broad, roomy feel that should be familiar from bands like Lord Huron and Band of Horses. Michigander's music takes a similar approach to the guitar-driven, big, anthemic sound and powerful sing-along choruses. As a songwriter, Singer can string memorable songs of forceful pop and pack them not only with melodies that stick in the listener's mind but also with an emotional heft for the song. His smooth and lovely voice works quite well from that point of view, and as a bonus, he has a highly effective belting gear that he is not bashful about.
