59 Route 148 Killingworth, CT

Takenobu's original songs and folk renditions travel through a layered soundscape of percussive pizzicato and legato bowed lines to a distinctively contemporary sound. With a vocal range that encompasses the entire breadth of the cello, Takenobu's bass-baritone depth is where he sounds most at home.
