His performances are marked by a subtle yet unmistakable artistry, weaving together intricate guitar work, looped layers, and smooth vocal melodies into a truly unique musical experience.

He’s the type of artist who can slip seamlessly into any space and leave a lasting impression—without ever needing to draw attention to himself. For those who are new to his sound, they often find themselves surprised at how much they enjoy his set, and for regulars, his performances are the highlight of their evening.
With Nate, you’re not just getting a performance—you’re getting a well-rounded musical experience. As a professional singer, player, and performer, Nate knows exactly how to read the room, adjust his setlist accordingly, and provide just the right musical touch to elevate any atmosphere. And yes, he might even bring a few new fans out to your bar, leaving them with something memorable to talk about long after the last note fades.

“Music is supposed to be a joyful expression of self that connects us to other people,” Will says. “I want to instill a more personal, joyful process of sharing my work.”
Will Dailey’s new record won’t drop on streaming platforms. To hear it, you’ll need to buy the vinyl, CD, or a direct download. For what he considers his best work yet, Will wanted to slow down the release — to make sharing music personal again.
A Boston native, Dailey has spent 15+ years crafting a genre-bending blend of American roots, blues, rock, folk, and psychedelia. He has shared stages with Eddie Vedder, Peter Buck (R.E.M.), Jakob Dylan & The Wallflowers, and was invited to honor Richie Havens at the 2024 Folk, Americana & Roots Hall of Fame induction.
Recorded live over ten days with an all-star cast of players, BOYS TALKING explores men trying — and often failing — to communicate. Songs like “My Old Ride” and “Make Another Me” anchor the record’s emotional core: memory, identity, silence, and the echoes we leave behind.
In keeping with his listener-first ethos, physical buyers helped choose which singles would hit digital platforms. More will follow as the community continues to guide what’s shared.
On BOYS TALKING, Dailey distills the American songbook through his own lens — a living conversation between musicians and listeners. Keep the conversation going.
