About this concert
"GET DEAD," Nisbet's fourth album (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." A seasoned and powerful solo artist, Nisbet returns to the road in 2024.
‘Scottish singer-songwriter Mike Nisbet has only ever self-released his music, but the quality of his latest album ought to earn him greater attention; soulful songs such as “Pure Pain” and “Real Love” sound like instant classics’ - Laura Barton - Prospect Magazine

Mike Nisbet Biography
On the 22nd March 2018, singer/songwriter Mike Nisbet release a double A side single, No Way Through and Long Way Down, which sees the Scotsman return to form, conjuring sounds inspired by love, loss, depression, fear, and desire. All themes that infiltrate the lyrical world Nisbet creates inside beautiful sonic landscapes.
Like many of Nisbet’s peers, Mike has spent most of his 20’s travelling, performing, getting by with stints in Berlin, Bristol, Glasgow & London, working in kitchens, cafes, periodically on the dole, while mining music and using creativity as a means of connection and escape. A means to tell stories, of the struggles and strife.
Sonically conjuring ghosts of those gone before, Dylan, Cave, Guthrie, Mitchell, Mike Nisbet stands securely as a songwriter who has studied and learned from the masters. Now telling his own story, in his own voice, his own language, is creating a unique space and story. Like many Scotsmen before him, mike has spent time in bars across Europe, talking till the small hours, listen to tall tales in the Nuremberg, joining the chorus in The Scottish Highland folk clubs, and drinking the bars dry in The Netherlands.
In these darkened rooms is where the characters, the tales, the victories and failures of mike Nisbet’s songs live. You stay till closing time, spend you last fist full of change on a drink for you and love, then walk the long road home alone.
