James Blackshaw

Gifted fingerstyle guitarist James Blackshaw has been working his way around Japan this month on a lengthy tour in support of his latest album, the cheerfully titled Love is the Plan, the Plan is Death. Following a show at Vacant the previous weekend, he heads to the even more evocative setting of Shimokitazawa's Fujimigaoka Church for his second Tokyo date, with sweetly melodic local act Rayons in support.
