Award-winning singer-songwriter Michael Nelson, who records under the moniker BANNERS – with a staggering 1.5 billion streams to his name to date – will come to headline Thekla on 21st March 2023.
The first single released from his upcoming EP, ‘Keep Me Going’ is an energetic indie-pop anthem that was recorded at Black Bay Studios, which is located off the west coast of the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. It was produced by George Ezra and British Sea Power collaborator Cam Blackwood and the isolated location helped Michael to hone-in on the direction he wanted his music to take. “The song is very much a shout-out to the people you know you can always rely on,” Michael explains. “The people that understand your ups and downs and who are going to be there no matter what,” he says, recalling the people who helped him after lockdown.
