The Way It Is

After time spent testing the sonic waters of New York City and Seattle, singer/songwriter Michael R. Sanchez finally chose Chicago as home to his musical pseudonym The Way It Is. First relying mostly on a beat up acoustic guitar and MP3 player to fill out his sound, he later met keyboardist Theodore Blair, who quickly joined the line up.
Pairing Michael’s catchy melodies and distinct vocal phrasing with Theo’s solid technique and vintage piano sound, they redefined Michael’s already unique musical sensibility. Often addressing themes such as romantic isolation, grade school angst and pop music overload, their electronic-tinged indie rock will leave you humming all the way home.
The Way It Is has performed in venues all across the country including Seattle’s Bumbershoot and The Seaport Music Festival in New York City. They have shared the stage with such acts as Devotchka, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, The Dead Science and Jen Wood.
