Mickelson

“Mickelson sings with aching urgency, cloaked in a dark fog that keeps his melodies balancing on the edge of unresolved, underscoring his take that life is never an all-easy road. His work is smart, moving and never overdone.” - Music News Nashville

“Driven by Mickelson’s booming and unforgettable vocals, Flickering is a compilation of the twangy Americana sounds and a lyricism that takes listeners on a journey.” – The Bay Bridged

“If Tom Waits and Radiohead could reproduce, Scott Mickelson would be their love child. A perfect concoction of American Folk-Rock with a Post Punk vibe, Mickelson is this week’s featured artist.” – Gatehouse Radio

“Beautiful, heartbreaking, triumphant, intense – a panoramic of the human condition – Mickelson’s debut album pulls out all the stops and demands to be heard.” – Music Worth Reviewing

Perseverance. Through a career that spanned five full-length releases with his band Fat Opie, a struggle with a long-term illness and a career as a fine artist, Scott Mickelson has persevered. Now, with his debut solo release (out 05.05.15) Mickelson delivers the record he’s worked towards since he first sat down in front of a microphone. Flickering embodies the wisdom gained from his personal and musical journey. It features nearly two dozen guest artists including members of The Family Crest and other leading Bay Area artists like Jeff Campbell, Megan Slankard and Rivvrs. The record was recorded and produced by Mickelson in his home and mixed by Jay Pellicci (The Dodos, Sleater-Kinney, Deerhoof) at Tiny Telephone in SF.
