Following up from the success of BALLHAUS in late 2018, on the 28th January 2019, Mike Nisbet will release his new single, BUCKET OF BLOOD which sees the Scotsman continue in a new and darker direction. With Nisbet’s lush string arrangements, emotive acoustic guitar work and emotional vocals deliver, this story of friendship gone astray is bound to pull at your heart.

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.
