- From the moment we met, Nick Carpenter (aka Medium Build), felt like an old friend. I think that comes across in this conversation. He's also an incredible performer. He plays his songs with everything he has. We hope you like it.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard somebody go so hard and gentle at once. This guy is incredible. The vulnerability blows my mind. I am so excited for the next year for him.
I'm completely obsessed with ' Give me back my soul ' especially this version. I've came back to listen to it too many times
one of my new favorite artists. as a 43 year old former punk, that is saying a lot cause its tough to get into new music at my age. He reminds me of Bazan in all the best ways.
Hell yes!
And a bit of Tim Showalter
Me too...I'm 47 and this guy is the real deal. Love that I found him. Cant wait to see him live in July in Ohio!!
Dave Bazan? That’s a hell of a reference. Legend no doubt.
There’s no such thing as being a “former punk”, it’s all about that mindset! You never lose it.
Dude, Nick is so awesome. Got lucky enough to do sound for him in 2019 and it was one of the best shows I've been at. Always puts 110% in to his performances. That comes across well in this episode. Loving these episodes! So glad you had Nick on
Would have loved to see that show!
Just here for my daily viewing. What a guy, what a session.
I NEED that "Say Hi" version on spotify. Please :)
This is one of those artist that by any means let him just live life and make art. I love seeing his growth and journey! All love from the Swamplands!
Killer performance as always, honestly this guys live performances beat the recorded ones almost every time. Rare and talented chap. Keep it up Nick!
man i love the guitar sound in these. really want some of these songs with that same guitar sound on spotify. love it. reminds me a bit of mk.gee
I just discovered mk.gee and then CZcams sent me this dude too😂 that sound that these guys get out of their guitar is so unique. Very nostalgic, 80s, breakfast club feel.
Such an inspired performance, especially Cutting Thru the Country. Damn.
Most Underrated artist in this moment!!! This si so good❤🔥
I swear to god iv listened to say hi more times than i can count
Nick's music makes my days easier. Heals me.
the way i would kill for all of these to be released stripped down 😭 are u fr he’s so good live
I just lost my father a week ago and I comforted by our up bringing we share in regards to religion and being queer and sad . Music like his gives permission almost to feel. Love you medium build
Can you please explain to me what being queer even means? Makes no sense to me at all? I've looked it up, and that didn't help. Please educate me.
@@zacharymaike7042 you can do the work yourself , you’re a part of this world so get involved.
@@mikeealig Is that your way of saying you don't even know wtf it means? Beautiful.
@@zacharymaike7042 What's your understanding of "queer"? I want to have a productive conversation about it, despite the relative toxicity of a youtube comment section, but I need to know where you're coming from and if you're coming from a place of good faith before I waste time talking to a brick wall
@@zacharymaike7042i think its when you bring your sexuality into absolutely everything, especially situations where no one asked.
Watching from Anchorage, and I’m so thrilled so many people having discovered Nick’s amazing talent! Thanks, man!
Been listening to this for the past month lol so goooood ❤
He was incredible at the Tyler childers concert in San diego, california on April 5th. Absolutely incredible. Tyler childers picked a great artist to open for him. Tyler was also phenomenal that night, as always.
Completely agree. Been looking for a live version of Stick Around since that night.
damnn I missed that. Which venue did he play at here in SD?
@EriczSURF viejas arena. It was amazing. Next concert of his is in NorCal on Aug 14th.
@@markmueller5006 I've been listening to all his and Tyler's music lol
Right?? Saw him at the Kia Forum in Inglewood! New favorite artist
This dude has some god damn soul, this series is introducing me to artists I should have known already!! Love this
🙏
In about 4 days he's slipped up to the tops of my favorite artists. And my list is 5,000+.
Seriously the best CZcams channel hands down
Thank you 🙏
I saw him last year in DC. One of my favorite artists. I wish he would’ve sang 99 corolla. Such a hit
99 Corolla is such a damn banger. I discovered him after that song but once I found that song I listen to it almost once a day at the least!
lovefool was so incredible wtf I loooove the style he did it in!!!!
Awesome set, so much passion, can't fake that.
he does this at ALL his live shows. Best live shows ive ever seen. Stoked i got to see him at some local anchorage bars.
Have seen Nicky C three times in London already - insanely amazing live show presence - he is a special artist. Thanks for capturing his authenticity and sharing this with us, big fan of Track Star!
Thanks for watching Nina!
BEST ARTIST, Screaming this in my car when I get it back from the shop!!!!!
You do a great job of making me feel not alone
Back from the shop?? Wait a minute, you mean the shop where i work at?, where we keep the vehicles and tools?!! Thats crazy, you were at the shop? When, I didn't see you there; musta just missed each other i guess.
Anyway, Medium Build is new to me, so im stoked; glad you're enjoying it.
his music is like a beautiful prayer. I relate so much, give me back my soul!
Beautiful strange songwriting style. Fierce delivery. Definitely would be fun to see him perform live.
Great stuff. Nick has this strangeness to his music that makes him great. Hard to explain what it is other than greatness.
Sometimes the algorithm knows you better than you know you. Idk How the hell this came on my feed, but I’m so happy it did. This is amazing 🔥🔥
😎 Driven to tears. Respect. One love. 🪷
One of my top new artists. He’s also so fine
That was amazing. The intensity made me tear up.
Medium build you’ve really done it damn known by none wow that’s got me right by the heart strings speaks to my soul and moves me thanks for doing what you do!!
That was a great episode. Love Nick and the cover
He's the best
Fuck yeah. Keep being true to yourself and the music.
I can't get enough of this channel! Thanks for bringing these amazing artists into my music rotation!
Cannot wait to see him live in Detroit.
The amount of emotion he puts into all of his words is just pure magic.
Great video, this setup is gonna be known worldwide soon, tiny desk-ish vibes! love love love the look and feel of it!
Thank you!
please release these raw tracks i need them on repeat, they sound so true!!
Saw him opening for Tyler Childers. My wife and I were instantly fans. He was sooo damn humble and super funny. I wouldn’t be shocked if he gets to that next level. He made the entire audience just scream apparently to get rid of demons or something, weirdly, it was fun and was hilarious and fun. Dude is real as far as I could see
Dude is very real
Man. This guys has truly helped me find myself again.
love him, man those dynamics in picking and everything its better loud when hes belting
That “Say Hi” song/live version is soooooo gooood. Post Clinton American optimism was totally what I thought of when I heard the song 😋 love his soft and sweet vocals juxtaposed against his amazing growls, yells and screaming…so unique and so good.
Love the way he truly embodies his songs. Nothing held back!
God imma marry this man someday 😅❤
Amazing, amazing, amazing, fucking amazing. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for Medium Build (Nick) sharing his art with us. Love every single thing he puts out since I ran across him a few months ago on CZcams randomly. But even the older stuff I love too. Keep being true to you Nick. Thank you a million times.
amazing performer
The performance of that second track is fucking ridiculous
let’s goooooo medium build baby
What an amazing piece of art. Thanks for sharing your talent.
Love the Aces jersey
What we have on display here is a master showcase of original songwriting, emotion, and raw talent. Found this the other day and have since come back numerous times, ripped through Nick's catalog on Spotify, and bought tickets to his Bowery Ballroom show in New York in June. Although there's a wealth of recorded songs, I feel he's just scratching the surface of his talent and promise as an artist.
I've also never been so torn by the difference between an artist's live recordings vs studio recordings. The weight and gravitas of his songs shines in every live recording and performance, while I feel the studio recordings fail to capture his true essence as a singer-songwriter. Cowboy leans towards pop or indie-folk and I just think that's a travesty considering what he's delivering on the live front. The slower, stripped back songs work best in the studio recordings (Knowing You Exist, Hey Sandra, Say It Back), and I think he finds the best balance between rawness and modern gloss on Stick Around and Beach Chair. There's a reason why he's opening for Tyler Childers, and I hope Nick finds that balance on the next record, because right now Cowboy is a 7/10 and could be a 10/10 with the right production decisions.
I never comment on videos like this and I'm almost embarrassed to be doing it now, because he'll read this and think fuck this guy, but I think Nick has the potential to be one of the greats with the right direction. Over and out.
I agree with your comment🎉
@@jamesg199t I will say, the recordings have grown on me, but I still think there's a better balance to be struck between the rawness of his live sessions and the gloss of the studio. I'm confident he'll figure it out. Still can't stop listening!
you know you about to witness some G ishhh when ya mans comes thru rocking the highlighter pink crocs..... liked and subbed fam
11:34 I have no words, but lots of tears
So so so so good! 🙌🙌🙌
i love love love nick. he is an amazing artist. saw him at Babys All Right in brooklyn last year. seeing him again in june, cant wait!! this was a beautiful set
This was a great set and interview!
I needed this tonight
he is the real DEALLLL man such an inspiration
Can’t wait to see Nick live in Toronto June 26! Please please (pretty) please play Say Hi. That song means a lot to me
Seeing Nick this summer, can't wait!
Same
"Say Hi" touches my soul
I love medium build and Nick is so cool. His vibe and music is all I want in my life. I wish I could see him live but his last tour sold out in tx before I could get tickets 😢 Say Hi and Cutting Thru the Country are my two fave songs ❤ also Fat Broke Loser, Alone in My Car, Rabbit, comeonback. Ok I'm just listing all his songs at this point but DAMN 😂
All the love
Man this new series is amazing! 🔥 very talented guy💪🏻
🙏
Is it just me or this guy about to blow up?
💯
Thanks for this vid! New follower! Tuning in from Anchorage, awesome convo, awesome cover, so stoked to hear another new song!
Thanks for watching!
LOVE U NICKY! So Proud of U!
shivers
Hey Nick, just wanted you to know that I'm having a sick day and I can't wait to see you tonight at The Troubadour.
Known by none ❤️
Watching this makes me want to start inviting people over for sessions again. Great work!
Dude... The last song chorus is so fuckin similiar to pre-chorus of Roberto Carlos - Amor Perfeito
Medium Build has a new fan
🤝
Holy guacamole this guy is good
Agreed- you can smash it...I'll get you another one.
Say hi sounds way better stripped, you need to post this version alone, it will go the way you wanted it too, much love
Damn, I fucking love Medium Build.
So glad I came here from shorts. This is amazing. You guys are doing such a good deed for music industry! 🤍
🙏
this is great...reminds me of the lead from the band susto.
A fellow Justin fan! Nice to meet you!
@@glowskater i already know i love you and you get it. nice seeing you here. godspeed
Medium Build! Medium Build! Medium Build!

He brings the goose goblins.
What record did they take down from the wall after the first song😂
NPR Tinydesk has competition

What effect does he have on his guitar?!
Hi!

You can't skip lunch!
I feel sorry for the people who havent heard MB yet and need it as bad as i do
I love him, hate his earring, but I'm sure he doesn't care.
I’m in Sacramento the next time you’re looking to hook up with a stranger 🙋🏻♀️
Please get my girl Cat Clyde on here
Zach Bryan and Zac brown need to be differentiated. With sharpness
This is just bad. Yall think just because shit is emotional; its good. But objectively this is bad.
Cool comment from a cool guy
