November 2019

We’ll be in Japan this month! Delighted to announce a series of shows as a trio with Michio Kurihara, and with our friend Masaki Batoh playing an opening solo set. Please come join us at Osaka Conpass on Nov 6, Kyoto Urbanguild on Nov 7, and Tokyo Mandala-2 on Nov 14. Ticket links here.

We will also play a special festival show on Nov 10 in Tsuruga, the port town where Damon’s father landed by boat as a refugee from Poland in 1940. The festival will honor Tsuruga’s connection to Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara, who saved many families including Damon’s by issuing transit visas to Jews fleeing the war in Europe.

Tragically, we need people like Sugihara-san in so many places today… please work to help refugees everywhere!
