The Never Not Now
The Never Not Now
_edited.png)
Austin’s Nakia & The Never Not Now deliver a high-voltage blend of electric, modern soulful rock, driven by deep grooves, soaring harmonies, and an electrifying stage presence. Fronted by Nakia—a commanding vocalist and consummate showman—the band fuses vintage soul, gritty rock, and cinematic synths into a sound that’s both timeless and cutting-edge. While many first met Nakia during his breakout run on The Voice, he’s long been a force in the Austin scene, backed by an all-star lineup of musicians whose rich backing vocals create a wall of harmony. Their sound channels the grit of The Nightsweats, the swagger of Otis Redding, the funk of Prince, and the rock of INXS—powered by blazing guitars and groove-heavy synths.
A staple of Austin’s live music scene, Nakia & The Never Not Now hold a residency at C-Boy’s Heart & Soul and have rocked stages from The Saxon Pub to the F1 Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. Their live sets blend originals from Nakia’s deep catalog and latest album Signal, fresh unreleased material, and the occasional choice cover. Whether in a packed club or on a festival stage, they deliver a soul-stirring, high-energy experience meant to be felt as much as heard. Quit fucking around. Come find out.

gaybors fund
Grassroot nonprofits are the heartbeat of the gayborhood. These smaller organizations do vital, on-the-ground work, yet frequently struggle to access the working capital, grants and program funding needed to sustain their impact—and sometimes even to keep their doors open.
The Gaybors Fund is here to help bridge the gap.
