Medium Build in Minneapolis

Medium Build is the American indie-pop and singer-songwriter project of Nick Carpenter, based in Anchorage, Alaska. His songs pair candid writing with rock and electronic textures; the 2024 album Country includes “Crying Over U,” “Knowing U Exist” and “In My Room.” Medium Build toured as an opening act for Lewis Capaldi, Holly Humberstone and FINNEAS, then headlined club and theatre dates under the project’s own name. A 2024 Tiny Desk Concert documented him fronting a live band for NPR Music. Festival appearances have included Bonnaroo in Tennessee and Austin City Limits Music Festival in Texas.
