Hiroya Tsukamoto - Acoustic Virtuosity

If you’re drawn to **acoustic virtuosity with global influences**, our October artist, **Hiroya** **Tsukamoto**, offers a unique blend of tradition and innovation. Hiroya Tsukamoto is an **innovative guitarist and composer** based in New York, known for blending **folk, jazz, and world music** into a rich, textural sound. Originally from **Kyoto, Japan**, Tsukamoto began composing as a child on instruments like the recorder, then switched to the **five-string banjo** before moving to **guitar**. His early banjo training influenced his use of **fast arpeggios and rhythmic patterns** in guitar work. He studied at **Berklee College of Music** on a scholarship, which broadened his approach to progressive and cross-genre music. His performances often feature **bare-fingered playing** with a focus on delicate, fluid fingerpicking, and he uses effects like looping pedals to create layered textures — from shimmering arpeggios to percussive staccato notes. **Meet other music fans at our dessert and drink potluck! Please bring a dessert or beverage to share!** ***Details with our address and other info will be sent to you on or around October 14th.*** **Doors open at 7:00 pm. Music will begin \~7:45 pm.** **We kindly ask you leave your shoes at the door.** Wear your craziest socks to win a prize! Boring socks are...boring! :) **Suggested donation: $25-30/person (100% of all contributions are given directly to the musician) (Cash or Venmo)**
