big ups to ingrid michaelson (and greg laswell)

I ended up at the Ingrid Michaelson Holiday Hop last night at Town Hall. I wasn’t really sure what to expect, since the only song of hers I’d really listened to was that little Sarah Bareilles combo number I posted the video for the other day. Needless to say, due to the title of my post, she rocked it and now has +1 fan. A woman of my own heart with her comedic stylings between songs, I found her charming and easy to relate to. Her voice is really strong and pretty too; I wish I had one like that.

Greg Laswell, who I hadn’t heard of, opened for her singing a mostly somber/sad set, except for these two videos I happened to take. I think I’m in love.

Anyway, it was a really great show. The seated venue made for subpar pics and vids, but what can you do. At least the sound quality is okay.
