About

Mike Nisbet Live at The Old Hairdressers Glasgow

Mike Nisbet, a seasoned and powerful solo artist, has embarked on a remarkable musical odyssey that spans over 17 years. Hailing from rain-soaked landscapes of Scotland's West coast, Nisbet's path has taken him from the raw energy of a teenage pop punk band to his current incarnation as a multi-instrumentalist, producer, and revered singer-songwriter.

Nisbet weaves together dark, rich narratives with a modern sensibility that resonates deeply in the 21st century. His vocal-led performances, accompanied by the haunting melodies of acoustic guitar and piano, evoke the heart-wrenching anguish of a Tom Waits barroom lament, while drawing inspiration from the likes of Damien Jurado, Tim Buckley, Justin Townes Earle, and Bill Callahan.

"GET DEAD," Nisbet's fourth album, released on May 12th, 2023, stands as a testament to his exceptional talent as a multi-instrumentalist and a masterful storyteller. This opus delves fearlessly into themes of mortality, embracing the stark realisation that there is "Nothing left, but to get dead." Each track embarks on a profound and introspective journey, guided by Nisbet's raw storytelling ability and emotionally charged performances.

Nisbet's immense talent has cultivated a dedicated following and garnered notable achievements. His music has achieved over 180,000 streams on Spotify, securing a place on influential playlists such as "Sounds of Scottish Folk." His live performances have achieved legendary status, selling out iconic venues like The Bedford and Camden Club, leaving audiences spellbound by his raw and captivating stage presence.

Acknowledged as a musical luminary, Nisbet has received the acclaim of industry professionals and tastemakers alike. Championed by Amazing Radio's Charlie Ashcroft, Shell Zenner, Frankie Francis, and Jim Gellatly, he has also received recognition from BBC Radio Scotland's Roddy Hart, Iain Anderson, and the RAPAL team. Furthermore, Nisbet's artistry has been featured in Scotland On Sunday newspaper and garnered praise from publications like Music News.

Scotland On Sunday raves that Nisbet is "one of the most exciting musicians to come out of Scotland in recent years," while Music News hails him as an "exciting singer-songwriter who masterfully crafts stripped-back folk, blues, and Americana-infused stories that will melt your heart."

Undeterred by his achievements, Nisbet stands poised to continue his relentless pursuit of musical exploration. With an upcoming spring tour, a new EP ‘FULL THROAT’ released May 3rd 2024, and work well underway for a highly anticipated fifth full-length album in early 2025. Embracing the limitless boundaries of his artistry, Nisbet will undoubtedly continue to captivate audiences worldwride.
