Monterey Park Cherry Blossom Festival

We were fortunate to be invited back for our 2nd year at this big festival at Barnes Park in Monterey Park.  The threat of rain had us concerned earlier in the week but it worked out well avoiding any precipitation.  We were the final act of the show on Sunday April 12 at the Field Stage.  Our set consisted of 11 songs and performed Both Sides Now for the first time.  We had a great time and the audience was terrific.

LA Betsuin Surf and Turf Fundraiser

Played a few tunes for the folks that dined-in at this March 7 event in the Kaikan.  First time performing with us was Tom on the drums and for a couple of tunes Mikala on guitar.  We were fortunate to have Jimmy doing the sound engineering for us after a long absence.  Our set was about 1 hour 15 minutes and included a featured singer Kenny Kawasaki singing The Wonder of You.  Check out some of the tunes on our music page.

Dinner for Roy

We gathered over dinner to express our gratitude to Roy for his years (2019 to 2026) as a key member of the band as our drummer.  So many gigs over the years with Roy setting the tempo and setting the foundation for our tunes.  Thank you so much, you will be missed.
