The annual three-city tour by Crazy Ken Band, known as the East’s No. 1 Sound Machine, is held again this year. Since forming in 1997, they have continued to attract new listeners with a breadth that swallows up every genre. Ken Yokoyama, the "singing melody-maker," delivers soulful vocals, and the battle-hardened band’s upbeat performances never stop, sweeping audiences into a whirl of excitement wherever they tour nationwide. A breathtaking show overflowing with the joy of music is not to be missed, and at Billboard Live, one of their home venues, the splendid summer stage opens.
