Matt Nakoa

Across the board, his song craft has garnered awards, including a win at Kerrville Folk Festival’s prestigious New Folk Competition.  Though not easily pinned down, “In sum,” as a recent review put it, “Matt Nakoa is a musical adept, one of those well-kept secrets you just can’t help but celebrate: intimate and genuine, soulful and bittersweet, a rich poetic songbook sung in praise to a complicated, emotionally present world.”
