Nikka Costa rocks and if she is coming to your town, I would circle the date and be ready because Nikka is one of the best live acts out there. We are looking forward to “Pebble To A Pearl’s” release and making it her best sella eva!-Dr.FB

I'll definitely be at another NY date if Nikka plays here. Of those three possible NYC locations, I'd prefer Webster Hall. B.B.Kings might be too big a venue for her and their stage seems tiny.

Nikka owes AZ a gig she canceled out 2 years back

Yes!!!

Why does it list 3 different venues for Chicago?

I'm guessing she's trying to get booked at one of those venues, but has not committed to any of them yet.

I saw her at Double Door the last time she was here. Tiny place but great show, great energy from the crowd. I'd love to see her at Metro.

Stymie said:

She tore it up when she played here earlier this year. I was standing close to the stage and there was some serious glass cutter action going on.

sextonseven said:

Oh yeah. That, too.

Imagine my disappointment when I found out she was straight.

Stymie said:

I was very disappointed when she got married and had a baby. I thought for sure she would have fell for me once she saw me in the crowd at one of her shows.

sextonseven said:

she must've been blind.

I may try to make one of her chicago shows.

Luv me sum Nikka

The NYC date has been moved to 10-20 (at Webster Hall) and I'm already seeing Lykke Li that night! Dammit!
