Ingrid Michaelson stays on the road into the fall

News, Published online on 07 May 2008

Ingrid Michaelson will be hitting the road in June to headline a month-long tour before making multiple appearances on the festival circuit later this fall.

Michaelson’s debut, Girls & Boys, was released in 2007. The album has produced several hits, including “The Way I Am,” which was featured in a snuggly sweater-themed Old Navy holiday ad campaign last December. She was also one of four artists to compose a song for Running With Scissors author Augusten Borroughs’ new audiobook A Wolf at the Table. Michaelson’s “Spare Change” appears alongside tracks from Patti Smith, Sea Wolf and Tegan Quin (of Tegan and Sara.)

The Staten Island songbird recently wrapped up a stint on the Hotel Café tour with artists including Cary Brothers and Joshua Radin. The tour was sponsored by Hollywood’s famed Hotel Café, which has been known as a premiere venue for up and coming singer-songwriters for years.

Michaelson’s solo tour will kick off June 1 in Philadelphia, and wrap up June 28 in Salt Lake City. She will also be hitting the music festival circuit this year, with performances at Denver’s Mile High Festival, Seattle’s Bumbershoot Festival and Austin City Limits, just to name a few.

The singer-songwriter will be taking a short break from touring on May 12, though, to perform at the children’s ward of Mt. Sinai Hospital in Manhattan. Michaelson’s performance was organized by Project Sunshine, a non-profit that serves children and families affected by serious medical challenges. She’ll also take the stage at the organization’s fifth annual Project Sunshine Gala that evening at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
