Nick Hakim’s debut album Green Twins was released last year on ATO to wide critical acclaim from Pitchfork, The New York Times, The FADER, NPR Music, The Guardian and more. Tonight, Hakim will begin on a solo tour with Big Thief’s Adrianne Lenker, performing stripped down versions of Green Twinstracks at the Murmurr Theatre in Brooklyn. Headlining shows in Boston and NYC follow leading to the Desert DazeCaravan tour with Ariel Pink, DIIV, Suuns and JJUUJJUU. A full list of tour dates can be found below.
Hailing from Washington, D.C., Hakim grew up in a musical household—his older brother introduced him to bands like Bad Brains and Nirvana, and his parents exposed him to Nueva canción—while he set out on his own to discover the DC music scene. He didn’t take an interest in learning an instrument until high school, when he taught himself to play the keys. After graduation, he moved to Boston to continue his study of music. In the time since moving to Brooklyn and setting to work for three years on Green Twins, he embraced the live circuit, both as a solo musician and with his band, whom he’s brought together from within his community in Boston and New York.
