BANNERS’ songs have a mysterious, anthemic quality. They’re haunting and inspiring, effervescent and relatable. In the space between piano chords, sweeping beats, and orchestral guitar, an awakening happens. As if stirring to life, the music of BANNERS ascends towards steeple-size heights lifted by Michael Nelson’s dynamic delivery and exquisite songcraft. Since emerging in 2015, BANNERS has quietly carved out a place within the zeitgeist, clocking nearly 1.5 billion total streams while stand out track “Someone To You” has taken the world by storm. BANNERS’ songs are sincere, accessible, and organic. They flow with ease and resonate more with each utterance of Mike’s stunning voice, a falsetto croon reminiscent of Coldplay’s Chris Martin. There’s also a timeless but personal quality to BANNERS’ music that is wholly indicative of the sense of community it’s inspired by. “Everyone is part of this,” says Mike. “I think I can write and sing but there are so many things I don’t know. I try and take everything on board and just do the best I possibly can.” “There are certain songs that become the soundtrack to a specific time in your life,” Mike says. “If BANNERS’ music can become the soundtrack to a moment for one person, that would be the dream for me. That would make me so happy.”
