Im Januar und Februar des naechsten Jahres kommt der Songwriter und Aktivist KOJI auf Europatour und wird solo auch in Deutschland zu sehen sein. Anbei die Termine des Kuenstlers aus Philadelphia - sowie die aktuelle Single "Keeping Count".
Andrew 'Koji' Shiraki kommentiert die seine langjaehrige "Abstinenz" wie folgt:
"I've been writing, climbing, and operating a bar and community space I own in Brooklyn called, June. It was really important for me to take some time out, after spending my entire 20s on the road. It's nice to finally live in one place.I initially came off the road to do some spiritual and emotional repair. The decision to slow down came during the rise of both Black Lives Matter and Trump. I knew that I wanted to participate, better educate myself, and grow in certain ways I could only do in very localized community. Taking the time for myself has grounded me and I know that I'll be singing from a deeper, stronger place in 2019. I'm ready for the year ahead."
