These regular Bluesfest stars are returning to Byron Bay for the annual festival after touring the country in celebration of its 30th anniversary. Nahko and Medicine for the People will bring their high-energy performance to Sydney Metro Theatre on April 20 before kicking on to the 2019 Bluesfest.
The six-man band’s live performances are always an uplifting experience, provoking emotional crescendos with their acoustic guitar-based anthems. Singer-songwriter Nahko Bear fronts the group with lyrics focussed on bridging social and cultural divides.
Their 2016 album Hoka was extremely well-received and Nahko’s solo work My Name Is Bear topped charts in 2017. Expect an amalgamation of rock, pop and alternative sounds in their 2019 performances.
