Nahko and Medicine for the People
Nahko and Medicine for the People is a Portland, Oregon-based musical collective known for their “real-talk” lyrics, contagious and influential messages, as well as their catchy melodies. Since its conception, one of the band’s primary goals has been to bridge cultural gaps and unify diversity with their music. Front man Nahko Bear told Huffington Post in 2013 that the band’s music is “more of a social movement than anything.” Their lyrics promote acceptance, sustainability, and healthy living through music. The band and fans alike have adopted the mantra “I believe in the good things coming,” a refrain from their song “Black As Night.”
