Ten years after HOKA, the album that helped define a movement built on healing, empowerment, and connection, Nahko returns to North America to play it again: the band has re-recorded the record in full, revisiting and reimagining the songs while keeping the medicine at the heart of them intact, with the new versions arriving alongside the tour. Expect an evening of community, storytelling, and musical time travel, with renewed versions of Tus Pies, Love Letters to God, Make a Change, Runner, and deep cuts from the album. Louyah opens. For an artist who regularly plays far larger rooms, a Siren date is a rare close-quarters look at the songs.
As the voice behind Nahko and Medicine for the People, Nahko has built a global following on music grounded in resilience, accountability, and collective restoration, drawing on Native, Filipino, and Puerto Rican heritage and channeling lived experience into songs about growth, truth, and transformation. Now fully independent, he is revisiting and reclaiming his catalog as he goes.
