Kelly McCubbin gets the jump on everything that strikes his fancy from
the 20s, 30s and many other popular decades. An unhealthy obsession
with Cliff Edwards taught him to throw away his 6-stringed devil and
play his favorite tunes on the world's most disarming instrument.

Toshio Hirano
8:00 pm

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."
