Ten years before he was the nationally-touring musician he is today, Nashville-based Jason Singer was just learning his craft, and was an avid fan of World Cafe. “See, normally we tell these stories,” said Mike, responding to Singer sharing his journey, which includes an honorable mention to XPN. “You’re selling our story for us a little bit there.”

This week, Michigander brings his new single “Giving Up” among others to Free At Noon on Friday. Tickets are still available here. But before his FAN appearance, watch Jason and his bandmate Jake perform live on the Midday Show back in September. Plus, we caught their chat with Mike about building a career as a full-time musician, a chance encounter with Singer’s hero Jack White in Nashville, and changes in the music industry since Michigander got their start ten years ago.

We’ll see you here on Friday.
