Ingrid Michaelson added to the Performing Arts and Concerts Series
By MERYL GOTTLIEB | Sep. 17, 2014The Campus Involvement Center announced Tuesday it was adding indie pop singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson to its Performing Arts and Concerts Series for the fall.Michaelson, known for her summer hit “Girls Chase Boys” will take over the Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium stage on Nov. 13. Tickets go on sale Friday at noon and are $35 for the first 10 rows and $25 for the remaining seats.“I’m very excited,” said Kirsten Lawrence, a 2014 alumna. “I’m already planning to buy my tickets.”The Athens concert is part of Michaelson’s new tour for her latest album Lights Out. Her single “Girls Chase Boys” peaked at No. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the album peaked at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Her other hits include “The Way I Am,” “Everybody” and “Be OK.”Rogue Valley, an indie rock, folk group out of Minneapolis, Minnesota, will open for Michaelson. In one year, the band wrote, recorded and released four full-length albums, each one steeped in the season of its creation.Andrew Holzaepfel, senior associate director of the Campus Involvement Center, said he is very excited for Michaelson’s performance because her recent summer hit “Girls Chase Boys” would make her appealing for both students and Athens residents.Olivia Musci, a sophomore studying marketing, said she loves going to concerts and though she doesn’t know Michaelson well, she would definitely go to her concert because the series provides a way to see big name artists at a cheap price.The Performing Arts and Concerts Series already has popular country artist Scotty McCreery and special guest Danielle Bradbery scheduled, but Holzaepfel said he is happy to include another artist of a different genre.“We want performances that are as eclectic as the student body and community in Athens,” Holzaepfel said. “Our goal is to have a very eclectic season and be as diverse as possible.”@buzzlightmerylmg986611@ohio.edu
