Medium Build freaks out while playing a set at our office | Track Star Presents 

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.

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.

I NEED that "Say Hi" version on spotify. Please :)

I'm completely obsessed with ' Give me back my soul ' especially this version. I've came back to listen to it too many times

Killer performance as always, honestly this guys live performances beat the recorded ones almost every time. Rare and talented chap. Keep it up Nick!

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!

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

the way i would kill for all of these to be released stripped down 😭 are u fr he’s so good live

Nick's music makes my days easier. Heals me.

Just here for my daily viewing. What a guy, what a session.

So. Its 2024 were all watching ourselves constantly and as an oldie i want to hear songs i love sweetly. But truth is. Rawness cuts. And he knows when to do it. This isnt fucked up shenanigans. This is it.

whewww i love medium build! his channel ust got pushed to me randomly by the youtube algo and have been following him ever sincee

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.

Thanks Public Opinion! Haven’t heard of you guys nor Medium Build, so glad I clicked a couple months ago, since then found one if my fav musicians in a long time and he happened to be performing here in Seattle and I went and one of the best shows I’ve seen! He kills it, no bullshit, raw emotions and high level musicianship.! I’m commenting for all those reasons but so the algorithm will randomly grab another’s attention. (P.S. wonderful interview Jake (I believe it is), for real!! Sincere, kind… and you can tell when someone wants someone else to succeed…! I also watched some more Public Opinion vids and love them. Keep keeping it solid! Love to y’all!)

In about 4 days he's slipped up to the tops of my favorite artists. And my list is 5,000+.

Such an inspired performance, especially Cutting Thru the Country. Damn.

Most Underrated artist in this moment!!! This si so good❤‍🔥

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

Watching from Anchorage, and I’m so thrilled so many people having discovered Nick’s amazing talent! Thanks, man!

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.

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

This dude has some god damn soul, this series is introducing me to artists I should have known already!! Love this

I saw him last year in DC. One of my favorite artists. I wish he would’ve sang 99 corolla. Such a hit

lovefool was so incredible wtf I loooove the style he did it in!!!!

BEST ARTIST, Screaming this in my car when I get it back from the shop!!!!!

Beautiful strange songwriting style. Fierce delivery. Definitely would be fun to see him perform live.

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!

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

Been listening to this for the past month lol so goooood ❤

his music is like a beautiful prayer. I relate so much, give me back my soul!

Great stuff. Nick has this strangeness to his music that makes him great. Hard to explain what it is other than greatness.

Seriously the best RU-vid channel hands down

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.

He killed ever single one of those songs; I also would love to somehow get these versions of songs on Spotify, just him and a guitar

Great video, this setup is gonna be known worldwide soon, tiny desk-ish vibes! love love love the look and feel of it!

Cannot wait to see him live in Detroit. The amount of emotion he puts into all of his words is just pure magic.

I swear to god iv listened to say hi more times than i can count

😎 Driven to tears. Respect. One love. 🪷

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

Awesome set, so much passion, can't fake that.

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.

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!

I saw him open for Tyler Childers in San Diego and have listened to him every day since.

What an amazing piece of art. Thanks for sharing your talent.

That was amazing. The intensity made me tear up.

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 🔥🔥

Love the way he truly embodies his songs. Nothing held back!

One of my top new artists. He’s also so fine

please release these raw tracks i need them on repeat, they sound so true!!

love him, man those dynamics in picking and everything its better loud when hes belting

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 RU-vid randomly. But even the older stuff I love too. Keep being true to you Nick. Thank you a million times.

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 😂

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

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.

"Say Hi" touches my soul

Dude... The last song chorus is so fuckin similiar to pre-chorus of Roberto Carlos - Amor Perfeito

Medium Build has a new fan
