Michigander joins host Stephen Kallao
Michigander has been one of our favorite musical discoveries of the 2020’s. The indie-rock band with its roots all over the Great Lakes State is led by Jason Singer. Coming up, Michigander joins World Cafe for a mini concert, playing songs from their self-titled debut, recorded at this year’s XPoNential Music Festival.
