About this Event
Join us for an intimate evening of live music with Nire Nah at Loohoo Thu, Jan 15, 2026 · 6:30–8:30 PM
Nire Nah is a singer-songwriter and visual artist whose work wanders wherever it wants, stitching together fanciful notions and solemn realities with meticulous attention and reckless abandon.
As an indie folk artist with musical theatre roots, Nire has a strong and straightforward voice that has been likened to those of Joni Mitchell, Jenny Lewis, and Fiona Apple. Her lyrics pull no punches and put forth a vivid portrait of how hard those of us with soft hearts and busy brains must work to make sense of the world.
✨ What Is the Music About?
Nire Nah’s music explores the work of being human — especially when you feel deeply and think a lot.
Recurring themes include:
- Mental health (addiction & recovery, depression, anxiety)
- ADHD (perfectionism, burnout, changing tactics when you hit a wall)
- Identity, self-esteem, and transformation
- Staying vulnerable and hopeful in a confusing, often cruel world
At its core, the music is about healing old wounds, paving new paths, connecting authentically, and learning how to live — and love — with openness and courage. Laugh and cry in equal amounts, for balance!
🕯 The Experience
This is a cozy, floor-seating concert in an intimate shop setting. Some chairs will be available for accessibility.
There will be a short intermission featuring a cute little sticker swap — bring a few stickers to trade if you’d like, or simply mingle and browse the shop. Hi! Lindsay, the shop owner, here — this is actually how Nire and I met! Through Loohoo's first sticker swap!
The shop will be open for shopping during intermission and after the concert, so feel free to wander, connect, and linger and browse!
