Japanese Shamisen Extravaganza @ Schubas
If you've read Memoirs of a Geisha, you know the Japanese musical instrument called the shamisen is kind of like a foldable, skinny version of a guitar. Schubas has not one, but five Japanese shamisen musicians on tap tonight: Mika Uchizato, Yasukatsu Ohshima, Takeharu Kunimoto, Keisho Ohno and Umekichi. One to write home about, for sure. Tickets are $15, and doors open at 7pm. Schubas Tavern is located at the corner of Belmont and Southport.
