Music
A blend of indie, folk, and melancholy, Nancy McArthur’s songs are meditative, heart-searching, and unexpectedly sarcastic.
She’s gigged at venues across New York City from Pete’s Candy Store and the Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe to the late Rockwood Music Hall.
Her debut album I Would I Were Thy Bird was released in December of 2023, to a sold-out show at Brooklyn Music Kitchen.

“An album with a mood that seems to deepen as you listen, McArthur’s delicate voice is given structure by a certain toughness, like an Appalachian Nico by way of Long Island City.”
Nancy is also one half of Gut Puppy, an alt-folk duo with Oli D Remembers. The two began collaborating after co-starring in punk and folk musicals in the NYC experimental theater scene. Gut Puppy toured Europe in the spring and summer of 2024, playing 9 shows in 7 countries. They’re known for their rye humor and exquisite vocal harmonies.
