Nahko & Medicine for the People Live @Showbox Sodo 11/21/19

I always have liked Showbox Sodo with it’s large open floor plan and great sound quality. You can pre-reserve seating when you buy tickets in advanced under the “emerald Package” otherwise it’s all standing room only. Nahko is a mixed/Native American artist who is a cross between some hip-hop / reggae with a hint of rock music. He has some deep songs with important messages. I noticed he doesn’t have the mohawk anymore which is too bad. He sounded great and had a very cool entrance on stage with segments for each band mate to play their instruments as openers. He did an encore at the end and this show was a good mix of old and newer songs of his. Second time seeing him and well worth the ticket.

Nahko The Bear Live@Marymoor 8/25/18

I had stumbled across this artist looking at something else on youtube and then patiently waited for his show in Redmond, WA. Nahko the bear is a mixed race Native American, Puerto Rican and Filipino which is notable because I like seeing fellow Native Americans doing music. He has a strong voice with some rock backgrounds that jump in without warning. Great voice and some folk/rock with more of a twist than even that. Great stage presence and I would for sure check out any of his shows again. He usually tours as Nahko and Medicine for the People. They are semi new-ish so look for them and enjoy the sounds.
