After a day of stuffing your stomach with salmon shioyaki and your ears with taiko drumming at Oppenheimer Park, why not continue your Powell Street Festival experience with something soft and strange? Tokyo’s Shugo Tokumaru (above) and Los Angeles–based Mia Doi Todd share a PSF–sponsored double bill at the Firehall Arts Centre on Saturday (August 2). Todd’s harmonium-laced songs of heartbreak and recovery conceal deep emotions beneath their seeming tranquillity, while Tokumaru prefers to put an eccentric spin on familiar pop frameworks. But both artists will offer intimate and stimulating ear candy.
