In a career built on reflective, deeply personal songwriting, Nahkoās extraordinary new EP, ābeautiful trouble,ā is his most profound, revelatory, and fully realized collection yet. Itās a collection of songs written during the pandemic, focusing on growth, courage, and resilience. The EP is a testament to the beauty and evolution that comes from fully inhabiting our pain, and itās proof that our true powerāspiritual, physical, and emotionalāultimately comes from within.
Nahko released his debut album with his band, Medicine for the People, āOn The Verge,ā in 2011, but his true breakthrough came two years later with āDark As Night.ā The record was a critical and commercial breakout, landing in the Top Ten on the Billboard Heatseekers Chart. Over the next four years, Nahko would go on to release two more celebrated albums, solidifying his reputation along the way as an outspoken activist and advocate for both social and environmental justice. In the midst of the 2020 pandemic, Nahko released his fourth full length album āTake Your Power Back,ā which charted as #1 Emerging Artist, #2 Alternative Album, and #5 on Billboardās top albums.
