The band Nagdeo was formed in 2010 in Kapoho, Hawaii (where the 2018 eruption occurred).
Musically, Nagdeo is a progressive, shamanic, folk-rock band. (Yeah we made that up ourselves!) We spend a lot of time crafting songs in which the lyrical message and the music are seamlessly integrated together as a single expression. The biggest influence on our songwriting style is Rush. Other influences include Yes, Pink Floyd, Billy Joel, Jonathan Richman, Frank Zappa, and many other types of acoustic and traditional music. We will bring any sound or style to a song, depending on what the song is “asking for.”
