Nahko and Medicine for the People (USA) – Tour/Album News

Thursday, September 19, 2013 – Ten To Two Records are extremely proud to announce their
first  international  signing:  Nahko  and  Medicine  for  the  People,  releasing  the  band’s  second
album Dark As Night in Australia on Friday, 27 September 2013 through Ten To Two / Inertia.
To  coincide  with  the  release,  Nahko  and  Medicine  for  the  People  will  tour  Australia  in
September-October  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, debuting at  #4 on the Billboard Top Alternative New Artist chart
and  #6  on  the  Billboard  Heatseekers  chart.  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.

DARK AS NIGHT: available FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 at all good
record stores and at iTunes through Ten To Two / Inertia.
