New Album Out Now!

Our new album "Brewgrass" is available on all major platforms! For a sneak peek, listen to the audio samples on this page. Moods range from the defiant #MeToo movement anthem “Put it Back Together” to moonshine numbers like “Wagon Load” and “White Dog” and tender ballads like “Kerry” and “She was a Rose Once.” Grammy Award-winning country music powerhouse Pam Tillis had this to say about the album: "Darlin’ Caroline" is a winsome love song and a humbly rendered, endearingly earnest account of the many reasons Brew fell heart over hills with the place he and his family now call home."

Meeting in Applachia

It's hard to put into words when something just feels right — that's exactly what it's like for Nick and Brew. Like long lost brothers: one from the South, the other from the North; one raised Protestant, the other Catholic; one into the Americana music of Townes Van Zandt, Darrell Scott, and Gillian Welch, the other the Bluegrass World of Bill Monroe, Tony Rice, and the Stanley Brothers. When they met amid the vibrant music scene of Asheville, NC, it just felt right. We think when you hear 'em, it'll just feel right for you, too. Thanks for visiting! Come back soon.

From Music City, USA — Growing up in the shadow of the Bluebird Cafe, Brew studied poetry and listened to his grandfather lead a cappella worship in church. The songs of Music City seeped into his bones and came out through pen and paper. He fell in love with the sounds of the Nashville Bluegrass Band, Robert Earl Keen, Doc Watson and Sam Bush, and landed his dream job during college working at the seminal roots label Sugar Hill Records in Durham, NC.
