Mark Fry

Mark Fry was just a 19-year-old art student when he recorded Dreaming With Alice in 1972, a psych-folk opus that went on to achieve cult-classic status while its creator drifted into obscurity. Like his contemporary Vashti Bunyan, Fry (who's also a prolific visual artist) has been enjoying a career revival in the past few years: a reissue of his debut in 2006 was followed by a pair of well-received new albums, Shooting the Moon and I Lived in Trees, with another record due later this year. For his first-ever Tokyo dates, he's accompanied by a quintet of local musicians, including sitar player Trans Yoshino.

Mark Fry also plays an acoustic set at UFO Club on April 21, with support from Katsurei and the Ai Aso Group
