Get ready, Austin — it’s gonna be a party!
On March 17, the iconic Continental Club will host “Stay Out All Day” starring Nakia, a high-energy celebration of live music, Queer Pride, and the vibrant spirit of Austin’s creative community.
For more than two decades, Nakia has been one of the most compelling voices to emerge from the Austin music scene. Known for his commanding, soulful voice and magnetic stage presence, he has captivated audiences worldwide and built a reputation as both a powerful performer and a passionate advocate for musicians.
Many fans first discovered Nakia as a semi-finalist on Season One of The Voice, where he quickly became a fan favorite, earning national attention for his distinctive voice and authenticity. But long before television audiences discovered him, Nakia had already built deep credibility within the music world.
Over the years, he has shared stages with legendary artists including Alejandro Escovedo, Sharon Jones, Willie Nelson, B.B. King, and even The Muppets—a testament to both his versatility and the respect he commands across genres and generations.
A Leader in Austin’s Music Community
Beyond his performances, Nakia is widely respected for his commitment to Austin’s music ecosystem and the people who power it.
When the pandemic devastated the live music industry, Nakia stepped forward as a leader. He played a pivotal role in creating emergency relief efforts for Austin’s musicians and venues, helping mobilize resources and support during one of the most challenging moments in the city’s music history.
His tireless advocacy earned him the title of “Local Legend” from Matthew McConaughey, a recognition of both his artistic impact and his dedication to the community.
Today, Nakia continues to shape the future of the industry. He serves as a three-time Recording Academy Texas Board Governor and was the founding president of Austin Texas Musicians, an organization dedicated to advocacy, education, and economic opportunity for working musicians.
Through his leadership and visibility, Nakia has also become one of the most influential queer voices in the Austin music scene and beyond, championing authenticity, representation, and community.
A Night of Music, Pride, and Community
Stay Out All Day is more than just a show — it’s a gathering of Austin’s music family.
Expect incredible live music, powerful vocals, and a room full of people who believe in the magic of live performance. With the historic Continental Club as the backdrop, this night promises the kind of electric energy that only Austin can deliver.
If you love great music, vibrant community, and artists who give everything to the stage and the city they call home, this is a night you won’t want to miss.
