Phish Lighting Director Chris Kuroda Is Dispensing Justin Bieber Guitar Picks

Kuroda at his other gig
As previously reported, longtime Phish lightning designer Chris Kuroda is working with Justin Bieber on his current tour. Kuroda’s connection to Bieber is the teen idol’s musician director/guitarist Dan Kanter, a devoted Phish fan and friend of the band. Kanter got Kuroda to design the light show for Bieber’s current run of shows and made sure to schedule his tour so CK5 wouldn’t miss any Phish dates. Kanter is encouraging Bieber’s fans to meet Kuroda, too and sent out the following tweet:
Gave @ChrisCk5 a bag of my JB guitar picks. During the countdown go say hi and ask him for one at the sound/light board at the back.
Bieber will perform at Los Angeles, CA’s Staples Center this evening while Phish will return to New York’s Madison Square Garden from December 28-31.
