Hailing from Winston-Salem, NC, Tyler Nail is a dynamic Americana songwriter whose story-driven songs capture life's depth, darkness, and beauty. His songs deliver vivid stories with colorful cinematic clarity.
Nail is a wiry figure with a dark, prominent beard. He marches around club stages like he can’t bear to stand still. His voice is rough, loud, and unmistakably Southern. His two-finger Piedmont-style guitar playing weaves intricate compositions that carry both rhythm and melody.
Nail has been an artist and performer since 2008. Throughout his long career he has toured heavily, landed song placement in film and TV, and released multiple LPs, EPs, and singles, including his 2025 release, Family.
If you are a singer, musician, poet, comedian, or just have a good story to share, sign up for our open mic set when you come in. We have a mic and amp available, but musicians must be able to carry their own instruments on and off the stage. Open mic participants may not use the band's equipment. We will invite participants to come up in order of signup and perform one piece. If time allows, we may invite everyone to come up for a second.
Bring your appetite! Our volunteers work hard to provide a variety of refreshments available for purchase during the show. We serve:

A signature mocktail, custom-made for each show
Assorted baked goods and snack plates
