My Name Is Bear

2017 album from Nahko, his first solo album under his name. Nahko has built a rabid grass-roots fan base performing with his band Medicine for the People. Nahko: "So many dear people helped me write and live these stories. The two summers I spent in Alaska, half the winter in Louisiana and the other half holed up in my van in Portland, and then the first year in Hawaii were transformational and pivotal to shaping me into who I am today. Those three years before I met my mother would offer a reclaiming of my name, finding new faith and fever for my own spiritual connection to Creator, and discovering first love. These were just a few of the important discoveries for a young cub set on exploring the world and finding himself amongst the wild."
