Jason Singer (aka Michigander) returned to WNXP as guest co-host on Thematic Static the day before his debut full-length record, self-titled, was released and he sold out The Basement East. This former Nashville Artist of the Month helped organize and play listener requests that were all, fittingly, songs about states.

Hear the whole show — the first in a spontaneous “Friendly February” series of co-hosted Thematic Statics — and/or a playlist of individual tracks below! We thank United Record Pressing for supporting this program on WNXP.
