Seattle Theatre Group (STG) and Thrasher presents Jack's Mannequin with special guests, Matt Nathanson and Low vs. Diamond, on Thursday, April 2, 2009 at 7:30pm at Showbox SoDo. He's the ethereal voice, songwriting powerhouse and full-contact keyboardist behind Something Corporate, the piano-rock quintet praised by one critic for its 'combination of intelligent lyrics, infectious melodies, and killer piano.' Now Andrew McMahon is taking something of a spring break from the band with which he's practically lived for the last four years in order to offer up an angst-flavored side project. In the guise of Jack's Mannequin comes Everything In Transit, a highly personal theme album by McMahon and collaborators, from Maverick Records.
