Creative Loafing Tampa Bay

Jason Singer is only 31 years old, but he found inspiration to make music in an unlikely place: his local library.
The Tennessean says the songwriter better known as Michigander didn't have internet back then, so he checked out stacks of CDs, burned them and learned the songs that would shape his tastes.
Singer—touring ahead of a debut full-length that's supposed to come out next year—will connect with a whole lot more people on a three-month fall and winter tour that stretches into 2025 and includes five stops in Florida.
The opening track of a 2023 EP ( It Will Never Be The Same ) features Singer's gift for writing catchy hooks and delivering them with a vocal that recalls the joy and pain of Augstana's Daniel Layus while the rest of the effort channels the lessons Singer's learned in therapy after breaking his leg and canceling a tour in 2022.
"I'm working on things I didn't really know that I had to work on, and it's been a really, really positive experience," he told Spin about his approach to self-care.
