Nick Harley is a Nashville-based folk rock artist whose songs balance grit and grace. After years as a hired gun for celebrated songwriters like S.G. Goodman and Lilly Hiatt, Harley has stepped into his own voice—shaping a sound rooted in folk and bluegrass, sharpened by the raw urgency of indie rock.

Originally from the Rust Belt of Indiana, Harley draws inspiration from weathered landscapes and forgotten corners, finding beauty in decay and meaning in imperfection. His music feels timeless yet fresh, weaving traditional folk textures with the restless spirit of garage rock revival.

On stage, Harley moves fluidly between intimacy and intensity—whether it’s a stripped-down acoustic set or a full-band performance in a bar on Nashville’s Gallatin Pike and beyond.
