About this Event
Hiroya Tsukamoto is an innovative solo guitarist and composer who fuses folk, jazz, and world music. Born and raised in the ancient capital city Kyoto in Japan, he came to the U.S. in the year 2000, a recipient of a scholarship to study guitar at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. In the Autumns of 2018 and 2022 he won the remarkable accomplishment of a second place finish at the International Fingerstyle Guitar Competitions at the Walnut Valley Acoustic Music Festival, also known to guitar fans as simply “Winfield.” He is a working touring musician who keeps a very busy performance itinerary coast-to-coast in the U.S. and internationally. Some have described the vibe of his solo guitar performances as “cinematic guitar poetry” since his music is introspective, nostalgic and deeply connected to the natural world. The Boston Herald has said that “Hiroya Tsukamoto takes us on an innovative, impressionistic journey filled with earthy, organic soundscapes that impart a mood of peace and tranquility,” and the on-line review magazine Minor7th.com remarked that “Hiroya Tsukamoto plays with fluid mastery, pristine tone, and great warmth.”
