before retiring and becoming a cabaret star. She sings original
songs about working the lunch line, gambling in Reno, and old
uncle's arthritis, as well as squeezebox sing-along standards, TV
and movie themes, and accordion versions of classic rock tunes. She
is a regular performer with the renowned cabaret "Va Va Voom Room"
at the Plush Room, as well as numerous drag and variety shows in the
Bay Area. Her current project is an Homage to Julia Child. Visit

TOSHIO HIRANO!
8:00 pm
FREE

TOSHIO HIRANO was born in Tokyo in the 1950's. Postwar Japan
embraced everything American, including American popular music. As a
teenager he became interested in bluegrass and country music. One of
his first loves was the great John Duffy and The Country Gentleman.
He later became inspired by the Mississippi legend, Jimmie Rodgers.
Toshio learned to play banjo, guitar and mandolin and started a
family band with his brother and cousin, called The Sunny Bluegrass
Boys. He continued playing music through college and then emigrated
to the USA to pursue his love of this music. He has lived in
Atlanta, Nashville, Minneapolis and Austin, Texas. San Francisco has
been his home since 1986 and he plays regularly in cafes and bars
around town. The deep romantic nature of country music, its' tales
of trains and cowboys and broken hearts continues to sustain
Toshio's imagination and art.

"His faithful, respectful renditions of heartbreaking country tunes,
with substantial nods to legends like Jimmie Rodgers, is something
to behold."
