Austin-born singer-songwriter McKenna Michels is gearing up to join Spencer Sutherland on his highly anticipated EU/UK tour, kicking off on January 20th, 2025. With stops in Germany, Spain, Italy, Austria, Poland, The Netherlands, France, and the UK, Michels will also headline her own performance on January 22 in Bonn, Germany.
Fresh off the success of her powerful single, “I Don’t Know”, Michels continues to solidify her status as a rising force in the music world. The heartfelt track, a tender reflection on navigating the uncertainties of new love after heartbreak, climbed to #14 on the Mediabase Adult Contemporary Charts and held a Top 30 position for six weeks. As the first release from her upcoming EP, Revolution, “I Don’t Know” offers a glimpse into Michels’ knack for blending raw emotion with memorable melodies.
Michels’ music is deeply personal, drawing on her experiences as a survivor of childhood abuse, an autistic woman, and a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. Her poignant lyrics and evocative melodies have resonated with fans worldwide, providing a voice for those navigating their own journeys of healing and resilience. Her 2022 debut album, Enlightenment, featured standout tracks like “Broken Like This,” “Survivor,” and “Born to Die,” all of which earned Billboard Hot AC Top 30 spots.
Written during a whirlwind of emotions in Los Angeles, “I Don’t Know” captures the vulnerability and excitement of moving forward after heartbreak. Michels penned the song amidst the backdrop of filming her music video for “Broken Like This,” using her art to process feelings of attraction and uncertainty. The result is a deeply relatable anthem that speaks to the emotional complexities of new beginnings.
Joining Spencer Sutherland—a rising star known for his electrifying stage presence and genre-blurring sound—is a fitting next step in Michels’ burgeoning career. Sutherland’s recent accomplishments, including a sold-out North American tour and a starring role in Netflix’s Afterlife of the Party, promise an engaging platform for Michels to connect with new audiences.
As McKenna Michels takes the stage across Europe, fans can expect her to deliver performances brimming with authenticity and emotional power. Paired with Sutherland’s dynamic showmanship, this tour is set to be an unforgettable experience, showcasing two of today’s most compelling emerging artists.
