Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada (4,828 miles from Nagoya) 5th March 2026 Long Lai - Wedding and corporate parties Photo of The Unknowns The Unknowns "There are songs that just stand out because they are so different from everything out there. “Stay Down Kat”, by The Unknowns, is definitely one of those songs. There’s a suave, jazzy, bluesy feel to this song, with great lead and backing vocals. It’s sultry, sensual, mysterious, and controlled, yet it has its powerful moments. And who can resist a great sax solo? Those things will draw you in, and soon The Unknowns will be known." Based in Bellingham, Washington, United States (4,870 miles from Nagoya) George Duchow - WRGG Radio Photo of Dante Sidus Dante Sidus "Dante is amazing musician who plays songs for every taste and will light up the party, in no time everyone will be singing along. ✨" Based in Riga, Latvia (4,970 miles from Nagoya) Ieva Z. - Event organizer/social media Photo of Bass Groover Bass Groover "Most of my videos are on Instagram, to get to listen to more of me you could check out my Instagram page @neobass1" Based in Kyiv, Kyiv City, Ukraine (5,022 miles from Nagoya) Neo bass - Any kind of events
