See/Book The Naked Pilgrims LIVE!

In 2008 I started working with a talented percussionist, Jason Koteen, and we are currently looking for live bookings in the Greater Los Angeles area. We have a full set of upbeat, fun, polyrhythmic acoustic originals including many Naked Pilgrims favorites as well as some new tunes.

Please listen to the samples below, which are "live" recordings of just the two of us (no overdubs), and are representative of our live sound. Please email me at johnakin@nakedpilgrim.com for availability.

•  Three-Quarters Water (Acoustic - MP3)
•  What Would I Have To Do? (Acoustic - MP3)
