FAAIM First Thursday is proud to present GOH NAKAMURA - A Career Retrospect (so far). Join us and Goh for a lively discussion on his life in front of the microphone as a musician, behind the camera as a composer, and in front of the camera as a actor, then stay for a live musical performance. While not a household name, we know of one person who has done all of this&hellip;GOH NAKAMURA!!!As a musician, our friend Goh&rsquo;s first two albums Daylight Savings (2004) and Ulysses (2008) gained enough attention and praise to get him the opening slot for shows with Adele, Glen Hansard, and Stephen Malkmus in the Bay Area.&nbsp; As an actor, Goh made his acting debut as the star of Surrogate Valentine (2011) and Daylight Savings&nbsp;(2012), which were both directed by Dave Boyle and premiered at SXSW. These films, along with I Will Make You Mine (2020, dir. Lynn Chen) form a trilogy in which Goh plays himself. As a composer, Goh has scored two of Bao Nguyen&rsquo;s feature documentaries, the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Be Water&nbsp;(2020) about Bruce Lee, and The Greatest Night in Pop&nbsp;(2024), the untold story about the making of the song &ldquo;We Are The World,&rdquo; which both premiered at Sundance. Hosted by HAIBAYO Cares, this event supports our work on Argyle Street to nurture an inclusive creative space for Southeast Asian and BIPOC artists, cultural producers, and families. Your registration helps sustain a neighborhood hub where local stories, sounds, and small businesses can grow together. 🎟️
