Ingrid Michaelson (along with Greg Laswell) is coming to Louisville’s Headliners Music Hall this Wednesday & we’re giving away 2 tickets and her critically acclaimed album Girls and Boys.  Ingrid has been to Louisville twice in the last year already, playing 2007’s Non-Comm with an additional in-store appearance at Ear X-tacy.  Earlier this year she braved the snowstorm to perform at the 930 Listening Room (Review), and put on an incredible performance, where she played virtually the entire most-recent album and threw in some wonderful impromptu songs and covers such as “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”.  I met Ingrid briefly after her Ear X-tacy performance and she was the coolest, most casual person…really just a wonderful person.  In Cincinnati, a friend of mine met her and when someone asked to take her picture, she grabbed my friend and hugged her and said “let’s pretend we’re best friends”. 

The show at 930 sold out back in February so you can expect the better weather to result in a lot of people at this show.    Tickets are $15, but lucky for you we have two we’re going to be giving away along with a copy of the album, Girls and Boys.  Unfortunately not everyone can win, so if you don’t have a copy of the album, you can pick it up at any record shop, including Ear X-tacy, at her concert, or via her Online Store. 

To enter the contest, just send us an email at BackseatSandbar.com with the subject line “Ingrid Giveaway”.  Winners will be selected on Tuesday evening at 10 o’clock (one entry per contestant), so all submissions must be received by then.  If last time was any indication, this show should be incredible…

UPDATE: For a second chance to win a copy of the album only, visit Consuming Louisville.
