You're likely to recognize members Ken (banjo) & Kazumi (guitar) Inoue
from local fiddlers' conventions, and may have seen infamous fiddler
Bosco, too. While the Inoues make Statesville, NC their home these
days, the rest of the band will be flying in from various parts of
Japan.

Be sure to bring your instruments for the old-time jam session to
follow!
If you can't wait till Wednesday to see this band, you can catch them at

New Billiken String Band will be joined that evening by Sarah Peterson
