Dreaming Kyoto

Reika Hunt, who also goes by the stage name Elizabeth Etta, is a brilliant singer and songwriter hailing from Kyoto, Japan and who currently resides in California. Her band, Pirates Canoe is a critically acclaimed progressive Americana band that has performed at South by Southwest and has been featured in Rolling Stone and Esquire. We were lucky enough to catch her while she was back in Kyoto, and our conversation was capped by two mesmerizing songs of hers. You can find Reika on facebook at @elizabethettasings, and you can follow Pirates Canoe at @piratescanoe and piratescanoe.com Enjoy!
