Originally from Japan, Keiko Komaki has performed everything from the blues, funk, rock, and jazz. Known throughout the city for her punchy, shuffle style of playing, she has grown into an accomplished pianist, arranger, and composer. She has played with some of New Orleans’ cream of the crop, including George Porter, Johnny Vidacovich, Marc Stone, Ed Willis, Tara Alexander, Jeffery “Jellybean” Alexander, Charlie Wooton, Arséne DeLay, June Yamagishi and many more. Keiko was a fixture on Frenchman Street in the heart of the French Quarter where she played with the Brass-a-holics and Gary Brown. In 2019, Playing For Changed released a video “The Weight.” Performing in the video, Keiko joined Robbie Robertson of The Band, Ringo Starr of the Beatles, and Marcus King. The video received wonderful reviews and was hailed by magazines such as Rolling Stone.
