Hiroya Tsukamoto brings a blend of masterful fingerstyle guitar and evocative storytelling that transcends cultural barriers. His artistry, honed at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, has been celebrated on renowned stages like the Blue Note in NYC and the United Nations, and lauded for its “delicate, fluid, and beautifully detailed” style by Acoustic Guitar magazine.

Tsukamoto’s concerts are not just musical events; they are immersive experiences that weave lyrical narratives with intricate melodies. Recognized for his soulful performances that create an orchestra at his fingertips, he invites audiences into his world of musical exploration and emotional expression. This is a rare opportunity to witness a performer who has been celebrated for his ability to take listeners on an “impressionistic journey” (Boston Herald). Enchanting music that promises to resonate long after the final note is played.

John Silliman Dodge (guitarist/ singer-songwriter) based in Portland, OR will open for Hiroya.

John has been playing guitar, writing songs, and composing instrumental music for over 50 years. He was an ATCO Records recording artist in the 80’s, a radio program director in the 90’s and 2000's, a Sirius/XM DJ also in the 2000’s, and today is a frequent performer in clubs in Portland, Oregon (his home town) and on Cape Cod (his other home town). He has been a guitar student of both Tommy Emmanuel and Pierre Bensusan and influences range from classical to folk to rock to jazz to pop. His performances feature a wide range of styles—360 degrees of guitar from Bach to Hendrix to flamenco.
