LO Reads First Tuesday Music Series
Date: February 7, 2012
Time: 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Event Description
Enjoy traditional Celtic music performed by Hanz Araki and his band at the First Tuesday Music Series at the Library. After learning the shakuhachi, the traditional bamboo “Zen Flute” of Japan, from his father, Araki taught himself Irish and Scottish tunes. A fixture of the Irish music scene in America, he has performed with the Juno Award-winning Paperboys, Casey Neill and an all-star tribute to The Pogues called K.M.R.I.A. alongside members of The Decemberists and REM. He has played with the Seattle Symphony and the University of Washington Wind Ensemble and is featured on more than a dozen recordings and soundtracks, from feature films and documentaries to popular video games.
