Description
With Support from Seymour Culver and Merill June - Isaac Neilson is the indie artist currently undertaking an ambitious challenge to playa gig every day throughout 2026, but is also on track to perform over 400 shows in a year.Documenting the journey on social media while releasing new music every 10 weeks.Supported by Radio X, BBC Radio 2, and BBC Introducing.“Follow Me” is Isaac Neilson’s reflection on doing the Gig A Day challenge. It’s a dark andself-aware commentary on the obsessive and the strange contradiction of living your lifepublicly through social media just to get noticed.On the surface, he is doing it for attention. But underneath, he is questioning whether aworking-class artist can still make it in 2026. Should someone have to put themselvesthrough such an exhausting experiment just to get noticed? The song captures thenihilism, frustration, fixation and response to the challenge. There are shades of optimism in bleakness. When Isaac began, he had 100 monthly listeners, the inability to sell tickets, and nothing to lose. What most people are now calling “luck” is him “hitting his stride”. “Follow Me” shows by not listening to detractors, by not following the crowd, “trying anything twice”, making up your mind, you can succeed but “your favourite mistakes will be reduced to a zodiac sign”Support comes from local Americana trio Seymour Culver who have recently released their 'light that holds' epAlso on the bill is singer songwriter Merill JuneOriginally from New Brighton, Merseyside, and now based in Bedfordshire, Merill has built a growing reputation for heartfelt songwriting and a distinctive voice that connects deeply with audiences.
