Real blues/rock’n’roll live in Tokyo – Chuck Berry’s family playing small venues (May 15–16)
Hey guys,
Just wanted to share something pretty special happening in Tokyo.
There’s going to be two nights of live shows (May 15 & 16) featuring Chuck Berry III — part of the Berry family legacy.
- May 15 – Aoyama Red Shoes
- May 16 – Shimokitazawa Que (with Japanese major rock bands, club-style live, 3–4 bands)
This is part of a Chuck Berry 100th anniversary tribute, and honestly, it’s a pretty rare chance — probably not something that happens often in Japan.
Both shows are planned as intimate live experiences, around 150–250 people, more raw and close than a big commercial concert.
For context, I’m Shono Mercy, I used to play rock’n’roll in Detroit, and this whole project came together based on a request from Chuck Berry’s family.
We’re also thinking about doing a small after-party / meetup, so it could be a good chance to connect with people into blues and rock’n’roll here.
If you’re into:
- Blues
- Rock’n’roll
- Old-school American music
this might be something special to check out.
Tickets are expected around ¥5,000 (may change slightly)
Still finalizing details, but happy to share more if anyone’s interested.
Let’s celebrate rock’n’roll together.
