Bennett-Kuroda is delighted to be back for another evening at le Grand Arbre, a casual style French restaurant located right next to Shoin-jinja-mae station on the Tokyu Setagaya line, just 4 stops from where the line originates at Setagaya Station. Grand Arbre is a wonderful place, we always enjoy playing there: the atmosphere is great, the food divine. We'll be delighted to have YOU there to listen, and to enjoy the fine food, drink and conviviality!
And remember friends, it is NOT mandatory to order dinner there! You may simply order up a glass or two of wine or the like, and sip it as you listen! Grand Arbre FB page HERE

TUE 12/10 : on drums with the Paul Garner blues trio

open 19:00 - start 20:00 - 3000 yen entry

Paul Garner is a London-based blues guitarist and singer, working in the Chicago blues vein. He's doing some shows in Japan, and I'll be drumming for him on this particular night. The lineup is interesting: no bass player, but rather it'll be an organ player named Hal Tsuchida, who I've heard very good things about. So it's organ, drums, and guitar/vocals. Should be fun!
