Goh Nakamura cut his teeth on the Boston Music scene providing “stunt guitar” work for various local bands.

After a stint at the Berklee College of Music where he sharpened his ears, he came back to the west coast to write his own songs. He likes to think of himself as a combination of John Lennon, John Cusack and John Coltrane. However unholy this trinity is, it seems to work (at least in his head).


For the last 3 years, he’s been playing his original songs as well as an eclectic spectrum of covers at assorted venues throughout the SF Bay Area.


Goh Nakamura’s debut album, “Daylight Savings”, was recently named one of the Top Ten Local Albums of 2004 by the San Jose Metro.


“Armed with an acoustic guitar and an active imagination, Goh Nakamura strums to the beat of a processed drum machine, singing the minimum wage, dial-up connection blues.
Like Neil Finn gone broke or a male version of Mary Lou Lord, Nakamura could be a patron saint for lonely code warriors with good record collections.
Geekdom doesn’t get any more pronounced than on “N.P.”, a wistful stalker anthem about a girl in a Star Wars trilogy.” - Todd Inoue (Hyphen Magazine)
