Legendary Japanese rock band BOWWOW's frontman/founder Kyoji Yamamoto has announced Voyager On Broadway, his first appearance in the US since 1978 and his first ever solo appearance in North America. On Saturday, September 24th the Japanese guitar god will perform two shows at Klub 45 in midtown Manhattan, NY.

Appearing with Yamamoto will be Karl Wilcox, drummer for legendary NWOBHM band DIAMOND HEAD, who will be fresh from appearances with METALLICA, MEGADETH, SLAYER and ANTHRAX at the Big 4 shows in Europe, the Heavy TO and MTL festivals in Canada, and Diamond Head’s own headlining USsummer tour.

Yamamoto's trademark blistering, soulful guitar work has drawn praise from such diverse industry contemporaries as Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (GUNS N' ROSES) and John Wetton (ASIA, KING CRIMSON, URIAH HEEP). He comments: “I am truly excited to showcase my solo material for an American audience and New York specifically. I will take you all to a different dimension of the instrumental guitar world!”
