“With his soulful vocals and rich instrumentation, Nakia stood out among the hundreds of demos we receive each week at XM SATELLiTE RADiO. “Down In A Pinch” was a perfect fit for The Radar Report, so we featured his music in “The Futures” section–a set of emerging artists who we think has what it takes. Nakia certainly does.”

Back in February when Playing The Cards was released, I sent out a lot of CDs to radio stations. You better believe I sent some to satellite radio too! Two days ago I got a note from XMU - part of the XM Radio family and they notified me that I will be appearing on their show, The R>A>D>A>R REPORT, TONIGHT - at 9PM (central standard time)!!! This is great news! Here’s a little bit about the show.
The R>A>D>A>R REPORT
started in the late 90’s as a concept to alert the industry to the
presence of amazing and talented musicians. By 2000 the report was
email only and had no home for the amazing audio being discovered.
Then came XM SATELLiTE RADiO and with this new medium an amazing new form of exposure for the emerging musician.
By 2002 the R>A>D>A>R REPORTwas gearing up for the debut of the First Audio Version of the Report. The First Audio Version of the Report had it’s debut on January 3rd,2003, with the first Visual Version in March of 2003. Since then the show has grown in popularity and the number of people on the email list has grown to over 3,000.

Hello Nakia!
As usual, I have just a couple of things to tell you about, but of course it’s great news about some really cool gigs for you to catch me and the Southern Cousins.
Also, don’t forget that tonight at Ego’s we will be rockin’ at 8:30pm so get down there early to catch the show that everyone is talking about! Wanna get a little preview?? Check out this great video clip of the band 2 weeks ago performing Will It Go Round In Circles!
Bob Schneider, Ruthie Foster, Guy Forsyth, South Austin Jug Band, and of course… Nakia & His Southern Cousins.We will be performing on the brand new Hill Country Galleria Amphitheater stage at 4PM.
What’s the Hill Country Galleria you ask? Only a 1.5 million square foot shopping center and development area. Here’s what their website has to say…
“Experience the best of both worlds. Explore Bee Cave’s newest lifestyle center - 152 acres of expansive natural beauty mixed with eclectic shopping, dining and entertainment, as well as first-class office and residential space. Wrapped in a verdant nature preserve cloaked with wildflowers, native trees and rocky streams, Hill Country Galleria is more than a fashion icon, more than a thriving business district or residential utopia - it’s a social evolution.”
Soak Up The Sun With The Southern Cousins
We have been invited to perform at the 1st Annual South Padre International Music Festival! There are WAY too many amazing acts to list them all in this one email, but here’s just a few…
Robert Earl Keen, Grupo Fantasma, Patrice Pike, Reckless Kelly, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Papa Mali… See, I’m out of breath already. For a full lineup complete with music samples and bios, visit the official festival website.
Bears On The Run - TX ONLY!
Due to scheduling conflicts, I will only be able to play the Texas dates of the Bears On The Run tour starting next Friday night in Dallas. Then, we bring the show to Austin’s Chain Drive, and over to Houston where I say goodbye to the bears as they make their way across the country. Make sure to catch me at one of shows if you can.
