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 the Monroe Brothers, Jimmy Martin, and Tony Rice. 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.
"'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."

"Cuttin' Time" Out Now!
Burley tobacco's coming on / I hang on a prayer and a song / October wind's rustling up the pine / Oh Lord… it's cuttin' time.
"Cuttin' Time"
Western North Carolina band Nick & Brew's 3rd single "Cuttin' Time" is a haunting portrait of life in Southern Appalachia. Set in Pennington Gap, Virginia, the song follows Harlan as farming, addiction, mining interests, shifting policies, and an unforgiving landscape threaten his livelihood. Inspired by Barbara Kingsolver's Demon Copperhead, the song balances Appalachian hardship with resilience and hope — capturing the uneasy moment when survival depends on hope, grit and a prayer for better days.

Nick & Brew's First Single Out Now!
"North Carolina-based group Nick & Brew may have created a new subgenre of bluegrass music with their recent single 'Snowin' on Pisgah' — hurricane heartbreak..."
Western North Carolina bluegrass/americana band Nick & Brew delivers a deeply personal new single, "Snowin' on Pisgah," a winter-bound meditation on love, loss, and endurance shaped by Hurricane Helene's impact on Asheville in September 2024. Written by bandmates Nick Dauphinais and Brew Davis, the song unfolds during the long months after the storm, when damaged roads mirrored fractured relationships and daily survival required patience and resolve.
