The Ark's stage was covered in delightful blue and red sequins.
This glimmering addition to the intimate concert venue was the work of Ingrid Michaelson and her band: “Dan and I went on a quest to find shiny things,” Michaelson laughed, referring to her band mate and producer, Dan Romer. He accompanied her on a number of instruments including accordion, euphonium, and synthesizer.
Along with exotic fabric, Michaelson brought another personal effect to Ann Arbor: her humor. The show that sold out last Wednesday night was almost equally comedy and music. There were several moments throughout the performance where Michaelson’s band mates could not play for laughing. Towards the end of the show, all six people on stage—including Michaelson—had burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter. “Never as a group have we collectively lost our cool…” she said between giggles.
