This past Saturday evening our good friend Scott Mickelson from San Francisco came through Hotel Cafe in Hollywood to play us some new tunes (stream one below). We saw him last year and loved his solo performance, but this time he played a batch of songs with a full band. It was quite a treat. It’s always great to see artists progressing and growing as songwriters and musicians.

Mickelson has a new album coming out on May 5th titled Flickering. It’s eleven solid tracks that show just how versatile Mickelson is with his songwriting, production, and vocally charged songs. His lyrics are rich with perspective and his ability to go from playing banjo to acoustic and create different vibes with each song is incredible.

He continues to remain one of my favorite artists from up in the Bay. There is an element to his performance where he makes you feel right at home. He is one of those artists where the more fun you see them have on stage, the more fun you start to have. Check out his single “Hercules & Iron Man” below and be sure to follow him on Facebook and Twitter!
