Eric Nam at The Roxy Theatre — West Hollywood (September 2026)

You found this. Be the first one here.

Five hundred people in a room built for guitar bands, and the person on stage is singing in Korean. The Sunset Strip has seen most things since the seventies. This is not one of them.

He writes in English and sings in Korean and moves between the two the way bilingual kids move between their parents' house and everywhere else — without translating, because for him there is nothing to translate. Somewhere in the third row is a fan who learned English off his podcast, mouthing every word in both languages at once. His audience does that. It is strange to witness for about a minute, and then it is not strange at all.

A room this size cannot fake intimacy: the stage is close enough to touch and the walls sweat by the second song. Two nights on Sunset in West Hollywood, and seats are going.

If you have been waiting for the show where you can see his face when he hits that note, stop waiting.
