Chihana

B orn in 1988 and grew up in an odd family, where the
albums of Led Zep and Rolling Stones are played all day long.
At the age of 12, while taking some piano lessons, somehow
she started passing time with her father's hand-me-down gibson
which lately destines her future career as a musician. Under the
strong influence of her funky parents, she was baptized a
so-called rock chick who desperately loves a legacy of 70's
american/british classic rock. Just as she entered a high school,
she formed a band called "Murasaki" with her classmates, and
her gibson in her arms. The band was seen as highly heresy with
their skills and taste of music that made them never fit in their
too square, tedious, and peaceful school.
A fter the band's breakup in 2005, a fated meeting with a country/
blues singer Yoshiaki Kato (ex.Murahachibu) changed her outlook
on her musical career. The two hit it off together and soon started
having some jam sessions in which she found herself being wholly
devoted to blues/country music. While they push on, a brand new
weapon called "Dobro" guitar found its way to her and made her mind
up to come to light as a solo singer/guitarist. In the summer of 2007,
at a small club, a mystery dobro girl "Chihana" with a brass
bottleneck silently came into being. In 2008, she independently
released her first demo tracks "Rough&Ready" and revived 5 country/
blues tunes by George Harrison, CCR, and Woody Guthrie.
