Program
Critically acclaimed singer/songwriters Ingrid Michaelson and Mat Kearney and will team up to co-headline one of the most anticipated tours of 2010. The two have led similar, yet somewhat different paths to success and share a common thread in their dedication to their fans. Singer Cara Salimando will open the show.

Up and rising folk spirited, New York based starlet Ingrid Michaelson, has every reason to feel buoyant after the welcomed, and stateside success of her independently released 4th album ‘Everybody’. Her hit single, Maybe, features dawdling vocals that are delivered with clarity and surety, helping the song ooze independence and possess a comforting streak. Ingrid Michaelson took the industry by storm in 2007 with her debut album Girls and Boys, featuring the ubiquitous hit, The Way I Am, a single that has gone on to sell more than a million copies worldwide. Michaelson was the first unsigned musician ever selected as a VH1 You Oughta Know Artist and has performed on multiple talk shows.

After spending five years traveling the country, Mat Kearney established himself as a new artist supporting his first release, Nothing Left To Lose. He dug his roots into his new hometown of Nashville, TN, and cultivated the tracks for City of Black & White released in 2009. Kearney was a VH1 You Oughta Know Artist, headlined the first VH1 You Oughta Know Tour, and his video for the single Nothing Left To Lose tied the record for the most weeks in rotation (45) on VH1.
