American singer-songwriter and his band, whose songs work through trauma and healing under a phrase he uses himself: music is medicine.
Nahko Bear writes songs out of lived experience — his own site puts trauma and healing at the centre of the work, under the phrase he returns to, that music is medicine. He describes his own background as Native heritage alongside Filipino and Puerto Rican roots.
With his band, Medicine for the People, he tours steadily across North America and beyond, and the live shows are where most people meet the songs.
“Our work off the stage is very important to us. It's what forges the music into real medicine.”Nahko and Medicine for the People
