Ingrid Michaelson Brings the Fun to Stage AE; OpenStreetsPGH and Vine Rewind on Penn Ave. (Sun., 6/26/16)

1) Indie-pop singer and adult-alternative darling Ingrid Michaelson makes a stop in Pittsburgh this June. According to Michaelson’s site, her current tour features all of your favorites plus songs from her forthcoming studio album, It Doesn’t Have To Make Sense, due out this summer. One of those new songs may already be a favorite—“Hell No.” She used the popular messaging app Snapchat to record the music video for “Hell No,” which she shot on her phone over the course of four weeks. She is no stranger to innovative music videos. The video for her hit “Girls Chase Boys” is an updated take on Robert Palmer’s “Simply Irresistible” video of the 1980s. “Girls Chase Boys” is from her last album, 2014’s Lights Out. Michaelson, a native New Yorker, has been playing music since she was four years old. She headlines Stage AE as part of 100.7 Star Acoustic Sunday Funday with openers Magic! and Simple Plan. Doors open 6 p.m. 400 North Shore Dr., North Shore. (CM)
