Im so proud of @aallyjane, and excited for the world to discover this amazing book on November 10! penguinrandomhouse.com/books/808718/c…
Michelle Zauner of Japanese Breakfast is my guest on identified this week (!) youtu.be/JaCvytjwjfc?is…
Descendents ripping through “Marriage” 1985 in Huntington Beach, CA. Milo / Bill / Doug / Ray lineup.
Happy Loving Day! Sharing this piece from a few years ago… #lovingday open.substack.com/pub/nabilayers…
Every week is indie week… but this week is actually @a2im Indie Week. I’ll be part of a panel discussion at the general meeting 2pm Tuesday. And I’ll be behind you in the bar line at every party. #indieweek
Some songs make you wait for the chorus until the very end, then it just repeats forever. Journey’s "Don't Stop Believin’” holds out until 3:32. I wrote a Substack post about these kinds of songs. What songs am I missing? Drop them below. 👇 nabilayers.substack.com/p/the-best-son…

Honored to write a little bit about Charlie Parker for The New York Times. Thanks to all the wonderful musicians who contributed. nytimes.com/2026/06/03/art…
I've launched season 3 of my podcast Identified with Julian Pratt from the band Show Me The Body. Lots of amazing guests coming (Michelle Zauner, Matt Berninger, Brendan from Turnstile...) w/ new episodes every week. youtube.com/playlist?list=…
New York has always been a huge part of Identified, and our first guest of the new season embodies the spirit of the city and has been shaped by it: Julian Pratt of the iconic post-hardcore band Show Me The Body. Season 3 is our biggest yet and is right around the corner.
Nabil Ayers retweeted
I’m excited to perform at Vision Festival 2026, Saturday June 27 in NYC. It’s the 30th anniversary, and my band includes Eri Yamamoto on piano, Luke Stewart on bass, and Chad Taylor on drums. artsforart.org/vision-30/
If I didn’t make the case for this song’s importance, it’s possible nobody else would nabilayers.substack.com/p/everybody-lo…
When you think the song is ending… had an amazing time on @kcrw playing deep cuts with @NovenaCarmel. Listen back on YouTube. youtube.com/live/Nju6YO_M0…
Launching June 1st, Julian Pratt of @showmethebody kicks off Season Three of Identified. linktr.ee/identifiedpodc…

Everybody loves the sunshine, eventually: The enduring appeal of Roy Ayers' 1976 song latimes.com/entertainment-…
Nabil Ayers retweeted
Happy birthday to one of the great bassists of all time, Cecil McBee. The first time I heard Cecil was on Grachan Moncur's great Blue Note album, Some Other Stuff. I was only 14 but could immediately hear that Cecil sounded quite different from what I'd heard other bassists do…
…but I also wanted to take a step back from writing about my father as a person and just honor the music. I put a lot of energy into it, and I'm thrilled to have it out in the world.
Roy Ayers Ubiquity's album and song Everybody Loves the Sunshine turned 50 last week, and as the anniversary approached, I wanted to write about it… latimes.com/entertainment-…
