Going Great in Japan

Yesterday was a whirlwind day here on the Unstoppable Tour of Japan. We played the famous Sun Hall in Osaka last night to one of the most appreciative and joyful audiences I have ever had the pleasure and the honor to perform for. From the very first note to the last encore, these wonderful fans sang every chorus, reached out to touch us and applauded with great fanfare. We played on the bill with several other Japanese acts, some of the names escape me, but one of the names was Mother’s Milk. Not only are the fans absolutely wonderful in their constant praise, but all of the musicians are as well. During our show, I spotted several of the other members of the bands standing right in the front row yelling the loudest.
We sold all of our CD’s at last night’s show, so any of you who were lucky enough to get one, please enjoy it with my greatest humble thanks.
As some of you may know, our tour started at nu things on Wednesday night. Where we had another great audience as well as an awesome opening act from Japan called Bright Act
As I’m writing this, it’s starting to look like an Alfred Hitchcock script, in that I am jumping around from day to day not necessarily in order, so I will keep up the confusion and tell you about another audience we played for last night. Deep in the heart of the American Umeda section of Osaka, is an American owned soul food / blues venue, called Savannah. As some of you may know, I recently finished producing my new jazz record called Musical Chairs with my alter ego, Lucky Henry. We managed to go play a short set for a very appreciative audience hungry for American music.
That’s all for now, as I’ve got to go change strings on both guitars I brought, back up the live recordings we’ve done at each show and get some much needed sleep. Enjoy the pictures.
Love, Rick
