More about the performers:

Dale Walker – vocalist

From childhood piano melodies at his grandmother's knee to the operatic stages of America, Dale has woven a lifelong tapestry of eclectic vocal virtuosity, instrumental versatility, and musical knowledge. Trained at University of North Carolina School of the Arts, his tenor voice has resonated in venues ranging from Appalachian brew halls to opera houses across the southeastern US, and now in Tokyo, captivating audiences with its rich timbre, versatility, and expressive range. Beyond the grandeur of opera, Dale possesses a musical spirit that thrives in diverse landscapes. As a skilled keyboardist, he has made a living as a jazz pianist and synthesizer enthusiast, enriching ensembles with vibrant harmonies and dynamic solos. Dale currently teaches at The American Guitar Academy in Roppongi and resides in Setagaya with his beautiful wife and daughters.

Victoria trained and studied drama at NYC's American Academy of Dramatic Arts. She has been seen on various stages stateside from NYC and DC to Colorado doing musical theatre and drama. Her latest theatre productions were with Tokyo's Sheepdog Theatre's THE LITTLE FELLOW along with TIP's I LOVE YOU, YOU’RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE. Victoria can also be seen performing with Improvazilla at the Crocodile Lounge in Shibuya on the last Friday of every month. She would like to take a moment to thank the Tokyo theatre community for their warm welcome and to encourage you to enjoy the evening and music that had such a profound impact on her formative years discovering the beauty that is theatre.

Eliza van Kan plays collaborative piano in Tokyo and the U.S. in Baltimore, Maryland and Columbus, Ohio.
