Michigander

Michigander

Friday, November 20 • 7:00 PM

Prepare for a Midwestern indie invasion as Michigander storms the stage at Bottom Lounge. With his earthy, introspective tunes, this Michigan native encapsulates the brisk beauty of the Great Lakes State. Imagine if Sufjan Stevens traded in his banjo for a telecaster, but kept his knack for lyrical poetry. That's Michigander in a nutshell.

Bottom Lounge is taking this gig seriously, with presales starting May 5th and general sales kicking off May 8th. They're even taking a stand against those pesky scalpers to ensure die-hard fans don't miss out.

And for those of you riding the third-party ticket wave - beware. Bottom Lounge isn't vouching for your StubHub score. So, keep it legit or risk missing the guitar-strummed sonnets of the Mitten State's favorite musical export.

Remember: your tickets might be fashionably late, but they'll always be on time. If you don't have your stubs 24 hours before the show, hit up Ticketweb.

Michigander's set promises to be a heartland-grown, indie rock escapade that'll make you feel like you're cruising down an empty highway, wind in your hair, with the setting sun as your rear-view mirror companion. And you wouldn't want to miss that, would you?
