MARTY FRIEDMAN To Perform At Japanese Charity Event

June 23, 2011

On June 25, former MEGADETH guitarist Marty Friedman will perform with Tibetan songstress Alan at MTV's charity event for victims of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. Marty will also play one of his own songs, with a very special "secret" guest Japanese guitarist, at this unique event, which features TSUCHIYA ANNA, AI, MAY J., TOKIO HOTEL, ICONIQ and several others.

Many domestic and international stars such as James Blunt and Lady Gaga are selling their personal goods for the charity at the flea market.

Marty covered Alan's "Asu e no Aanka" song on his ninth solo album, "Tokyo Jukebox", which was released in Europe on February 22, 2010 via Mascot Records. The CD featured extensive liner notes (written by Friedman in the "story behind the song" format) which are exclusive to the European release.

Marty Friedman's tenth solo album, "Bad D.N.A.", was released in Japan on August 25, 2010 via Avex. The CD was produced by Marty and engineered by Steve Hardy and Shinnosuke Miyazawa (LADY GAGA, GUNS N' ROSES) this April/May at The Village in Los Angeles, California.
