mickelson (USA) – Roots/rock
Scott Mickelson is a San Francisco-based artist/producer whose live shows are a one-of-a-kind experience—equal parts songwriting masterclass and spontaneous, high-energy adventure. With a voice compared to Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder, Mickelson brings the stage to life playing guitar, banjo, and blues harp—often all within a single song. No two shows are ever the same.
Known for his fearless improvisation and jam-band spirit, Mickelson and his band reinvent each set on the fly, drawing from Americana, folk-rock, New Orleans grooves, and classic rock energy. Audiences never just watch—they go along for the ride.
Internationally acclaimed and globally road-tested, Mickelson has toured the UK, EU, and Australia extensively since 2019 and since 2024 added Japan to that list.
Whether he’s in Tokyo, Berlin, or a backroom in Glasgow, his humor, stories, and unforgettable songs connect with audiences—language barrier or not.
His latest record If You Can’t Be Right, Be Loud (Feb 2024) features a collaboration with Colin Moulding of XTC and has earned glowing praise from UK press:
“Bold, defiant, and deeply human… one of today’s most vital independent voices.” – Music Crowns (UK)
“A sonic diplomat the US needs right now.” – Dancing About Architecture (UK)
“Turns the chaos of modern life into something engaging, worthwhile and profoundly human.” – Plastic Magazine (UK)
Mickelson’s debut Flickering landed on the Grammy ballot for Best Folk Album and Best Roots Music Performance—and he hasn’t slowed down since.
