It’s with a heavy heart that I pass on the terrible news that Kuma Harada, our dear friend and musical buddy, has died. Kuma played bass to a level I can only describe as masterful. And he was one of the sweetest, most considerate and humorous guys you could ever wish to share a tour bus or a stage with.

A dad, a granddad and an all-round fine man has been taken from us. I’ll miss him deeply. All my band members will. He touched everyone he met with his gentle nature. SH
