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, I 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

Tokyo Song Celebration is here to do just that: to celebrate the art and spirit of song. Hosted by regular performers Bennett-Kuroda, the monthly event will bring their ever-expanding repertoire of original songs by Samm Bennett (as well as selected cover tunes) to Fuglen, the new cafe and bar in Asakusa, Tokyo.
In addition to Bennett-Kuroda's musical offerings, each installment of Tokyo Song Celebration features a special guest performer, chosen from Tokyo's rich pool of musical talent, or visiting artists passing through. For July's installment, we are delighted to present the very talented Australian singer and songwriter Sorcha Chisholm.

It's been a while since I've played at Lown in Shimokita, more than a year, I believe, but I've always liked the venue: the sound is good, and the seating and sightlines are for the audience are good. Bennett-Kuroda is looking forward to sharing the bill with our buddy Jean-paul Richard. He'll do a set (first up) then Bennett-Kuroda will do a set, and finally some tunes together as a trio to round out the night. Hope you can make it!
