Shoehorn duo with Toshi Onizuka
Portland Rose Festival Waterfront Village, Tom McCall Waterfront Park 9 (South of Morrison Bridge), Portland, OR
Toshi Onizuka is an incredible guitar player who is a favorite act at a number of local eateries and is a central player in the city's Flamenco scene. Shoehorn and Toshi explore the unique intersection of guitar with tap dance and saxophone on material from Japan, Latin America, Europe and the USA. Both entertaining and highly listenable. The two were joined by bassist Skip Elliott on Shoehorn's 2003 CD "Trio Calzador". Look for them at the World Rhythm Stage.
