Tyler Nance brought an energetic, country-rock sound to Nashville’s Exit/In on Saturday (Nov. 7), delivering a set that balanced original songs, familiar covers and a few new additions. The show was a part of Nance’s “Midwest Memoir Tour,” and featured Brendan Walter as the opening act.

He opened with the unreleased “Tonky Honkin’,” setting the energy before moving into “Whiskey Bottle Bent” and a cover of Toby Keith’s “How Do You Like Me Now?!” Nance continued with “I’m Not Him,” “Don’t Care At All,” “Shovel” and “Somethin’ With You,” showcasing the range of his songwriting and his ability to move between rowdy country anthems and more laid-back material. During “Whiskey Me or the Pain,” fans lit up the room with their phone lights.

Nance then brought things down for a solo acoustic portion of the show, beginning with a cover of Tyler Childers’ “Shake the Frost” before performing “Beer Tabs.” He also introduced another new song, “Winter Blues,” which is set for release this Friday (Nov. 13).

For “She Don’t Know She’s Beautiful,” Nance welcomed back Walter to the stage for a duet of the Sammy Kershaw hit. The two continued the night’s momentum before Nance returned to his original material with “Midwest Memoir,” “Same Song and Dance,” “Voodoo Child” and “Ways Away.” He closed the night with viral hit “Keeps Me Sane,” bringing the performance to a strong finish.

Nance’s “Midwest Memoir Tour” will continue in December with stops in Kentucky and Ohio, before wrapping on Dec. 5 in North Carolina. He will serve as support for Charles Wesley Godwin on select dates this month, with upcoming festival appearances slated for St. Pete Country Fest, CMC Rocks QLD, Tortuga Music Festival and more.
