Whitegrass In Kentucky
Hello and thanks for reading. Nakia here... Karla and I are in Lexington, KY. We've been invited to sing on the new Alejandro Escovedo record and so we'll be here cutting backing vocals for the next few days. We arrived tonight and quickly settled into the amazing St. Claire Studio. It snowed before our arrival and I must so it's beautiful to see it covering the ground. This is something very special for us and the songs we've heard thus far are extraordinary! Make sure to follow me on Twitter by clicking here and on Facebook to stay up to date ...
Remember This Christmas
After losing several loved ones close to me and seeing others around me losing family and friends close to them I got a bit down a few years back. When it really became evident that the war was going to continue keeping our troops away from their families that really put the straw on the camel’s back. I sat down at a piano in Alabama and wrote this song in less than an hour. I brought it back to Austin and recorded it with my friend Luis at a studio he shared with Spencer Gibb. That version was sent out ...
Nakia Singing With Alejandro Escovedo At Austin’s Continental Club
Hey everybody! Nakia here... Back in September, I posted a story about Alejandro Escovedo inviting me to sing with him at the recent Buick MacKane reunion show at Hole In The Wall. In that post I talked about bumping into Al at this year's HAAM Benefit Day performance at Whole Foods. That day he mentioned he was preparing for a long series of shows at Austin's legendary, Continental Club. A residency where he would be working out material for the new record he is working on. He invited me to stop by and sing some tunes with him and so I ...

Nakia Sings With Alejandro Escovedo & Buick MacKane
Hi folks! Nakia here. About a week ago I saw Alejandro Escovedo in an amazing early morning performance at Whole Foods in support of HAAM Benefit Day. It was phenomenal for sure. Afterward, I said hello and out of the blue, Al says, "When you gonna come sing with us?" to which I quickly replied, "When & where?" - LOL! He mentioned they would be starting up a new residency at the Continental Club in November and December and to "brush up on my Stones." I went off to my workout over at Castle Hill and didn't think much more of it. Then ...
