Called “fantastic” and “transcendent” by local fans, Yuji Tojo, the internationally known fingerstyle guitar player, producer, and recording engineer developed his own style of fingering techniques influenced by the flamenco improvisational musical form. Layering subtle harmonies between acoustic and electric melodies, Tojo blends jazz, classical, and rock elements in his music. He rubbed elbows with members of Led Zeppelin back in the day and toured with big names like Lacy J Dalton. Over a career spanning 50 years he now enjoys creating an intimate presence as a solo artist or in a nuanced duo. Drummer Gary Kehoe, whom Tojo has known since the late 80s, is a go-to who creates the rhythmic canvas upon which Tojo can “kind of go crazy.” - SLV Post

in 2010, Yuji and Jim played a set at this very stage - we certainly expect a performance even better…YouTube
