DAVID RALSTON ​

Internationally recognized recording artists and musicians, David Ralston and Merry Gushi have created their own brand of music, self-described as "Okinawa Americana Music.” Integrating influences from Japan to Brazil to America’s heartland, World Music to Blues, Country, Folk, and Roots Rock, they successfully illustrate that “The world of music is not just changing, it has changed.”

 

Whether David and Merry are performing as an acoustic duo or with a full band and traditional Eisa Dancers, prepare your imagination for an magically soulful, bluesy, rockin’ show that audiences are guaranteed to remember.

 

David Ralston and Merry Gushi will be releasing their newest project, “Okinawa Americana” worldwide in 2017, as a follow up to their "East West" collaboration. Recorded in Los Angeles, Nashville, and Awaji, Japan, the album blends David’s American Blues with Merry’s Okinawan traditional Japanese Folk and World Music style.“Okinawa Americana” also features world class musicians, including Phil Chen (Rod Stewart, Jeff Beck), Dave Roe (Johnny Cash), and Mark T. Jordan (Carpenters, Bonnie Raitt).

 

David Ralston and Merry Gushi are also available for Community/Education Outreach.
