Roots Rock & Roll/ Rockabilly: Famous in Japan as an author, radio host Master of Ceremonies, and authority on Elvis
Presley and Rockabilly music, Billy Morokawa is even better known for his live music
Performances with his superb band, Harvest Moon. Billy developed an early love for Elvis and even traveled to the original Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee to record one of his first albums. He was backed by James Burton, the guitarist for most of Elvis’ Las Vegas era performances.
Billy & Harvest Moon bring a truly fun and enjoyable visit to classic Elvis and Rockabilly songs supported by Hiroyuki Kato who is a true master of the Rockabilly style of guitar, along with ‘Yappi’ Sanno, a virtuoso of the slap style upright bass playing. Not only will you enjoy good music, but Billy is a wonderful entertainer with his witty monologues and
funny stories. Come experience what true Rock n’ Roll was really like!
And remember, it’s free. No cover charge. No music charge. You just can’t beat SNL for an exciting, entertaining night out in Tokyo.
