Nick Chandler & Delivered

Nick Chandler & Delivered is a bluegrass band from the mountains of western North Carolina, fronted by Nick Chandler on mandolin and lead vocals. The band has toured professionally since 2009. It started in bluegrass gospel: the first three of its five self-produced records were gospel, and the two after that were mostly secular.

Chandler is a four-time North Carolina mandolin champion who played with Asheville Grass and Silvercreek and has recorded with Bobby Hicks, Tony Rice and Jimmy Fortune. In 2017 the band, then based in Weaverville, signed with Poor Mountain Records for its first non-gospel bluegrass recording. Pinecastle Records signed it in 2021.

Silver Bird, the Pinecastle debut, came out in September 2022. Its title track is the instrumental Doyle Lawson made famous, with Alan Bibey as a guest. Look For Me followed in August 2026, with Gary Trivette on bass, Jake Burrows on banjo and Spencer Atkinson on guitar, and its singles included the Tom T. and Dixie Hall song "Hazel Creek" and Chandler's own "Maria".
