Medium Build - Health

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, there’s an old country soul, who treasures

the simple things in life and keeps his family close to his heart. Songs like “Crying Over U,”

embrace vulnerability with Nick’s intricate lyricism and gravelly yet soft voice at the helm while

while “Never Learned to Dance” is pure cosmic Americana, complete with lush acoustic guitar

and twangy steel, but it’s 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, he’s no one but himself.

Medium Build’s 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.
