Foggy-mountain megamalls, trailer-park guitars, big black cats, grandmas online and plastic hearts from Tacoma-based songwriter Gen Obata.
Gen Obata has been writing songs and playing flatpick guitar since the 1970’s. He helped found the St. Louis-based traditional bluegrass band, The Seldom Home, and was also a member of the eclectic acoustic bands Raven Moon and City Folk. Gen is currently a member of the Tacoma-based bluegrass band Barleywine Revue, the americana trio Cosmo’s Dream, and the acoustic duo Unassuming Beekeepers. Check out my music here: Music.
