Korina Lopez of USA Today writes of Fort Wayne's Jordan Witzigreuter musical success as The Ready Set.
The solo artist has had a tremendous year with the song 'Love Like Woe.' You can sample the music video of the song from his album 'I'm Alive, I'm Dreaming' on the USA Today website. More videos are available on The Ready Set website.
His first national headling tour starts February 23rd in Indianapolis at The Emerson Theatre.
Ms. Lopez writes:
While his classmates were going to parties and playing sports, Jordan Witzigreuter was in his room writing music and playing drums in local bands in Fort Wayne, Ind. "I was pretty quiet in high school [Homestead]. I never liked going to parties. I was immersed in music," the 21-year-old says. "I used to skateboard, but I stopped because I was afraid I'd fall, break my wrist and not be able to play music. After I graduated from high school, I booked all my own tours. I did everything independently."
: If you haven't heard of Witzigreuter, you may recognize his stage moniker, The Ready Set. "I wanted my band name to reflect my vision. It means setting your inhibitions and fears aside and just going for it," he says. "Plus, Witzigreuter is hard to pronounce."
I'm proud to say my son has been involved with Jordan since the beginning, and is now his stage manager and tech. Jordan is certainly going places.
