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.

Bluegrass Today

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.
