The Ready Set is the solo project of 19-year-old Jordan Witzigreuter, started November 17th, 2007. His interest in music formed when he began playing drums are the age of 10. By the age of 14, he was playing in bands, and by the age of 16 he was touring in them. Jordan later found a different outlet for his creativity through writing lyrics and music in an acoustic duo, which eventually led to the formation of The Ready Set. Dduring the summer of ‘07, Jordan wrote a few songs and kept them to himself, as his main focus was his acoustic duo. When the other member left to pursue a different career, Jordan decided to finish the songs he had started and put together a Myspace page just for fun. In January of 2008, he released his first EP “Syntax and Bright Lights”, which was completely written and recorded in his basement. Soon after, he began writing for his second release, a full-length titled “Tantrum Castle”, also recorded in his basement. Shortly after his high school graduation, he began touring in other bands, which made it clear to him where his heart was: The Ready Set. In July of 2008 he released “Tantrum Castle” and began touring full-time as The Ready Set. His live performances have evolved greatly since his early days, changing from a two-man show with keys, vocals, and a computer, to a complete full-band show with bass, drums, and lights. Throughout multiple self-booked tours, The Ready Set has continued to prove itself as a show worth seeing as well as hearing with it’s abundant energy and emphasis on showmanship. The Ready Set will be touring nationally throughout the majority of 2009, and Jordan has been in and out of the studio since March to record new material.
