Tokyo Groove Jyoshi came together under the guidance of producer Koichi Kaneko in 2018 and began playing shows across Japan, quickly establishing themselves as a phenomenal live act.
The band travelled to New York in 2020 and played at a plethora of famed jazz music clubs, such as Bitter Ed, Shrine, Sugar, Groove and Café Wha?, quickly gaining a reputation for their incredible sets.
They’ve gone on to tour all over Japan and play festivals in Taiwan and Singapore, as well as find a passionate audience in Australia.
