Jeremy Nail Ft. William Harries Graham

Buy Tickets! Jeremy Nail spends a great deal of time contemplating the human condition, and he invites the listener to join in his gentle, inner-world ruminating on the subject in Fleeting Things, the EP available November 28, 2025, from the Austin-based artist. Produced by Kyle Crusham, the four-song collection is stripped-down, coming together one afternoon in late 2023 with Nail, Charlie Sexton, and Betty Soo gathered around a few microphones, recording live using no headphones. Bonnie Whitmore came in later to add bass, underpinning the atmospheric texture of the raw performance. The EP opens with "Finally Free," and the song's sparse instrumentation sets the stage for a tightrope walk between past and possibility. Done dwelling in endless shadows cast by old mythologies and the legends of other people, Nail opens the door to individuality. "Dry River" returns to the weariness that inevitably follows trying, again and again, to live up to impossible expectations. Regardless of whether they are actual or imagined, the resentment of those expectations corrodes relationships. "Before the Flood" counters resentment with an offering of resilience. Though our minds can get caught in an eddy of past traumas and regrets, Nail reminds us that we can look up and live firmly in the present. "Life has a way of putting distance between you and that thing in your past," he said, "you can choose to move forward." The EP concludes with the title track, in which a melodic, lilting guitar riff gives way to lyrics that speak a story less sweet. The song examines the pain and the consequences of inexplicable weights people carry in forms like addiction and depression. Nail grapples to reconcile himself to the rifts created not just relationally between people, but between what time has been and what could be, if only the weight were lifted.
