Nahko and Medicine for the People tour Australia
Nahko and Medicine for the People will be releasing their second album Dark As Night in Australia on Friday 27th September and to celebrate the release, the band will tour Australia in September andOctober on a stellar triple bill with Xavier Rudd and surf-folk superstar Donavon Frankenreiter.
One of North America's most inspiring new voices, Nahko has developed a global following for his deep and spiritual music that reflects the intensity of his personal journey and the diverse musical influences of his Apache, Puerto Rican and Filipino heritage. Oregon-born and raised, Nahko left home when he came of age, living and working in Alaska before settling in Hawaii where he formed Nahko and Medicine for the People with percussionist Hope Medford and guitarist Chase Makai. The band's first album, On The Verge, immediately found fans around the world with its universal themes, haunting melodies and Nahko's deeply moving lyrics. Fittingly, Nahko took the music to the people, and the band toured the world to a rousing reception.
Returning to the studio, Nahko and Medicine for the People followed up On The Verge with second album Dark As Night. Effortlessly weaving together a complex array of different musical styles and philosophies, Dark As Night is the manifestation of Nahko's journey of self-discovery as an artist and human being... a triumphantly beautiful record born of the desire to make music that nourishes the soul. Music that bridges tribes together.
Critically acclaimed, socially conscious and revered by their fans, Nahko and Medicine for the People are absolutely not to be missed. Destined to find a new spiritual home in Australia, they are a band that represents the next generation of truly revolutionary artists, whose music translates past the languages and customs of our planet and instead connects with us on a profound level. Enlightening and enriching, they are the kind of artist that only comes along once in a very long while.
