A support slot on the Dave Matthews tour has seen her playing to 20,000 capacity arena crowds recently and her placing as history's most successful unsigned artist led to appearances on the likes of The Jay Leno Show, Conan O'Brien and Good Morning America; not to mention features in magazines like Billboard, Rolling Stone and The New York Times.

New single MAYBE is lifted from her latest album EVERYBODY and sees Ingrid Michaelson aiming to repeat that stateside success over here in the UK, bolstered by her biggest UK show to date at London's Scala in late November.

As one of the better songs to grace that record, MAYBE is a decent enough introduction to the music of Ingrid Michaelson, a single sounding exactly like the kind of angsty teen drama soundtrack that first catapulted her to the heights she finds herself at today. By-the-numbers and stuck firmly to the middle of the road as it is, MAYBE does at the very least achieve what it sets out to do, Ingrid Michaelson proving herself nothing less than solid here.

BIOGRAPHY (wikipedia)

Michaelson took up piano at age four, and trained until seven at Manhattan's Third Street Music School, continuing for many more years at the Jewish Community Center of S.I.'s Dorothy Delson Kuhn Music Institute. While there she met vocal coach Elizabeth McCullough, who worked with her through high school. She is a graduate of Staten Island Technical High School and Binghamton University, where she received a degree in theater. Her time at Binghamton is mentioned in the song "The Hat." She grew up doing a musical theater group called "Kids On Stage". Later in life, she became a director until she decided to pursue her career in music.

Towards the end of 2008, she opened for Jason Mraz on his Europe tour, touring in the UK, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany and France among others.
