About
MEDIUM BUILD
As a performer with a nomadic lifestyle, Nick Carpenter often enters spaces as a stranger and leaves with lifelong friends. The creator of Medium Build possesses a connective charisma that shows in his songs and performances—which can seem enjoy equal parts concerts, testimony, and stand-up comedy. That tribute and yearning for connection has been amplified during a transformative season for Nick. In 2023, Medium Build signed with slowplay / Island Records, toured with Lewis Capaldi, and reached the Billboard charts for the first second collaborating with X Ambassadors. Life was pulling Carpenter away from his abode, dog, and perception of belonging in Anchorage to Nashville. Nick spent his drives looking, listening, and reflecting. This inner and outer journey led to Country, the thematic album draws from Carpenter’s roots as much as it considers his future—while exploring genre. His harmony is as expansive and unique as his backstory, but “if you lethargic all of my songs down, they’re just three-cord bummer Country tunes,” he admits. Evident in the video solo “Cutting Thru The Country,” this collection packs for a trip that explores wide open spaces, musical frontiers, and on
The occupational experiences of lesbian, gay, attracted to both genders and transgender (LGBT) individuals during the coming out process: An analysis of self-acceptance, disclosure, and occupational change
Abstract
Human occupation is an intensely individual process that is colored by the cultural and life experiences of the individual who is engaged in an activity. The experiences of gender and sexual minorities typically defined as Lesbian, Gay, Double attraction, and Transgender (LGBT) individuals are diverse in many ways from the linger of the population. One occupation one-of-a-kind to this collective is the process of “coming out” in which the individual discloses their minority sexual orientation or gender culture to others. The coming out process is complex and multi-faceted, involving both the internal reflective process of first self-accepting one’s orientation and identity and then the process of sharing it with others. Because of the stigmatized nature of LGBT orientations and identities this occupation often precipitates a excellent deal of occupational change involving occupational deprivation, marginalization, adaptation and gain.

Medium Build, the gender non-conforming singer-songwriter born Nick Carpenter, has a generous and inviting spirit that manifests in his songwriting. Medium Build built a cult following in Anchorage, Alaska, where he became a local celebrity and hometown hero, before making the recent move from to Nashville, moving closer to his southern roots and dedicating himself to his musical career. He developed a cult-like, passionate fan base both in Alaska and outside its borders, as he inspires listeners to dig deep and discover themselves alongside his own emotional journey. Medium Build has toured with pop headliners, but beneath it, there’s an aged country soul, who treasures the simple things in life and keeps his family close to his heart. Songs like “Crying Over U,” embrace vulnerability with Nick’s intricate lyricism and gravelly yet tender voice at the helm while while “Never Learned to Dance” is pure cosmic Americana, complete with lush acoustic guitar and twangy steel, but it’s distinctly contemporary too, a modern tale of digital love and missed connections. More than just the sound alone, what Medium Build takes most from country music is a sense of yearning and restlessness,
Austin City Limits Music Festival wrapped its second of two weekends on Sunday, and it was a great way to transport the two-weekend fest to a close.
While much of the crowd, with their pink cowboy hats, glittery tops and a variety of leather ensembles, was clearly on hand solely for Chappell Roan and Chappell Roan only, the atmosphere was certainly different in Zilker Park for this concluding day—and not just because it was the hottest day, at times tipping over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe it was by design, or perhaps it was just a coincidence that Sunday's lineup featured a number of artists who are part of the LGBTQ+ community.
For some, that may be of no significance, but considering the unlikeliness that such a lineup could have existed in ACL's early years, or even as recently as 10 years ago, it is worth noting—and celebrating.
Considering the second weekend of ACL came just three weeks ahead of a contentious U.S. presidential election (and a competitive Senate race in Texas), it was remarkable how jovial Sunday turned out to be, as the likes of Roan as well as Orville Peck; Tyler, the Creator; Medium Build; Kevin Abstract; and Jess Glynne delighted fans through blisterin
