The generous and inviting spirit of Nicholas Carpenter’s, known as Medium Build, personality manifests in his songwriting, cultivating a passionate fan base both in Alaska and outside his home’s borders, as he inspires listeners to dig deep and discover themselves alongside his own emotional journey.

Medium Build has toured with pop headliners like Lewis Capaldi and Finneas, but beneath it all, there’s an old country soul, who treasures the simple things in life and keeps his family close to his heart.

“Never Learned to Dance,” the lead single off Medium Build’s Health EP is self-proclaimed “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.
