George Kamimkawa is a Japanese blues musician well-known for his busking in the Melbourne CBD. He came to Australia in 2001 and regularly performs small gigs with his band and in other duos. He has recorded an album of his works entitled "Blue to the Bone".(source: wikipedia)

He has spent the last 10 years honing his skills to become an exemplary country blues artist. His playing is typified by its raw energy and broad tonal range-from delicate harmonics to searing rips and slides on guitar, soulful singing and driving rythms on harmonica (source: http://www.myspace.com/georgekamikawa)
