Acclaimed singer-songwriter Fujii Kaze will perform his first set of North American headline shows later this month as part of his ‘Fujii Kaze and the piano’ U.S. Tour.
The tour, slated for May and June, will see Fujii Kaze deliver stripped-down renditions of his soul-stirring tracks, accompanied only by a piano. This intimate setting promises to showcase the depth and emotion behind his music, allowing audiences to experience his artistry in its purest form.
Kicking off on May 30th at the United Theater on Broadway in Los Angeles, Fujii Kaze will then head to the iconic Apollo Theater in New York on June 2nd. Due to popular demand, additional shows at both venues were added soon after the tour’s announcement.
Fujii Kaze served as the inaugural performer on the premiere of ‘Tiny Desk Concerts JAPAN’, a new music program produced in collaboration between NPR and NHK Music. Held at the NHK office in Shibuya, Tokyo, his performance showcased his soulful R&B grooves and catchy songwriting in an intimate, acoustic setting. The debut episode currently has over 3.4 million views on YouTube.
In summer 2023, he held his first international tour, taking his ‘Fujii Kaze and the piano’ show to 7 cities across Asia, selling out all 11 shows.
