Medium Build, the queer singer-songwriter born Nick Carpenter, has a generous and inviting spirit that manifests in his songwriting. Medium Build built a cult following in Anchorage, Alaska, where he became a local celebrity and hometown hero, before making the recent move from to Nashville, moving closer to his southern roots and dedicating himself to his musical career. He developed a cult-like, passionate fan base both in Alaska and outside its borders, as he inspires listeners to dig deep and discover themselves alongside his own emotional journey. Medium Build has toured with pop headliners, but beneath it, thereās an old country soul, who treasures the simple things in life and keeps his family close to his heart. Songs like āCrying Over U,ā embrace vulnerability with Nickās intricate lyricism and gravelly yet soft voice at the helm while āNever Learned to Danceā is pure cosmic Americana, complete with lush acoustic guitar and twangy steel, but itās distinctly contemporary too, a modern tale of digital love and missed connections. More than just the sound alone, what Medium Build takes most from country music is a sense of yearning and restlessness, always in search of another experience and another sound in whatever form they may come. In another era, Medium Build might have just as easily been a rhinestone cowboy lonesome out on the range, a blue-eyed crooner on a smooth-sailing yacht, or a leather-clad video star, but in the here and now, heās no one but himself.
Medium Buildās vision is to take the sense of community his music creates far beyond wherever he calls home. Last year was busy for Medium Build, opening shows for Lewis Capaldi, Matt Maeson, and FINNEAS, while selling out his headlining tour across N. America and playing shows in Europe on the heels of his Health EP. 2024 proves to be no different, with a EU / UK tour supporting Holly Humberstone, California dates with Tyler Childers, his biggest US headline tour to date, and a handful of major festivals punctuated by Bonnaroo. All this touring will support a slew of new music following last year's "In My Room", which has already won the hearts of peers, and been championed by BBC1, Alt Nation, and Zane Lowe.

Great live act. Would love to see them again soon.
The vibe and atmosphere were awesome. They have such personality, and Nick sounds just as good, probably even better in person.
It was a BEAUTIFUL show! Nick and the band were fun, connected to the audience, and were SO full of passion for their craft! I will definitely see Medium Build live EVERY chance I get! I bought these tickets for my best friend and I. The show was on his birthday and we discovered Medium Build on TikTok last summer. My friend passed away from cancer three weeks before the show. I still attended in his honor and I RAGED for him. Thank you Medium Build š©µ
your voice is incredible thank you so much for the show
Honestly- the best show ever. Flew from SC to NYC for the show with friends. They had never really listened to medium build but were texting me through the show (I was in the front where they couldnāt find me) how amazing it was. Funny, raw, moving, precious people. We screamed and cried and had the best time. 10 stars āļø Bowery ballroom was a great venue ! Met some new friends. Worth the trip! Canāt wait for the next one.
The Record Bar in KC is a nice venue and everyone working there was super nice. It was a sold out show but we were all comfortable and able to move and dance a bit even. Medium Build was an awesome show!! The music sounded great and he was very down to earth and relateable. I'm so happy to see he's seemingly growing in popularity! Being on a Wednesday night and only knowing the artist from Spotify I really didn't know what to expect. I'm a bigger fan now after seeing him live and would go to see him again. Also I liked what he had to say about KC and that it was his first time here and was really enjoying it!
Vibes were fantastic. Band left me feeling hopeful for life. Build fans are nice af, love seeing all the support for Nick. He deserves every bit of it!
Iāve been to a lot of concerts, but this by far was one of my favorites! They did an amazing performance and with out a doubt will always make it a point to go see them when there in town. Glad I had to opportunity to see them.
They opened up at a Tyler Childers show I went to recently and I was blown away. I got in my car after the show and listened to their whole discography on my way home. Super great performance and already bought a ticket for when they come to town in May
