Meet O'Jizo — three musicians from Tokyo, Japan who have dedicated their lives to Irish traditional music. And they're coming to the AOH on August 11.

Their story is unlike any other. It began in childhood — with the magic of Tokyo Disneyland and Hollywood movies that introduced them to American music. That love led to advanced studies in ethnomusicology, experiments with classical and world music, and eventually a deep, lifelong commitment to Irish tradition. They studied in Ireland. They earned the title of Masters of the Tradition. They've shared the stage with The Chieftains, Altan, Lúnasa, Flook, and Beoga.

Featuring Irish wooden flute, tin whistle, piano accordion, bouzouki, guitar, and mandolin — their sound is as authentic as a session by a turf fire in County Clare, with subtle threads of Chicago jazz, world music, and the quiet beauty of Japan woven in.

They won the Robinson Emerging Artist Showcase. They were featured in Irish Music Magazine. They received a standing ovation at "Your Roots Are Showing" in Dundalk, Ireland in 2024. They crushed it at Dublin Irish Festival, Goderich Celtic Roots Festival, and Milwaukee Irish Fest. And in March 2026, they wowed Boston.

Now it's Michigan's turn.

🗓 Tuesday, August 11
🕢 Show starts at 7:30 PM
📍 AOH Hall — 25300 Five Mile Rd, Redford Township, MI 48239
