Australian singer-songwriter Naomi “Nai Palm” Saalfield, lead singer of the future-soul band Hiatus Kaiyote has her own solo project “Needle Paw” and brought it to The Lodge Room in Highland Park. Equipped with a Jackson electronic guitar, background vocalists and her fabulous persona — Nai Palm brilliantly enamored the audience with her unique energy and extraordinary voice.

The show was packed and drew all kinds of audience. Nai Palm is a breast cancer survivor and watching her perform with so much strength was a real treat. The audience completely stunned sang along to the mellow tunes coming from her powerful presence.

There is one more chance to catch Nai Palm in Los Angeles! Nai Palm will perform with her band Hiatus Kaiyote on Friday October 25 at The Novo.
