Hiroya Tsukamoto

The Earl Scruggs Center announces a concert featuring internationally acclaimed guitarist and singer-songwriter Hiroya Tsukamoto on Saturday, August 3, 2019 at 4:00 pm.
Born in a small town outside of Kyoto, Japan, Hiroya Tsukamoto began playing five-string banjo at the age of thirteen and picked up guitar shortly after. Tsukamoto received a scholarship to Berklee School of Music in 2000 and brought his music to the United States, forming the group Interoceanico, which included Latin Grammy Colombian singer Marta Gomez.
In addition to collaborative works, Tsukamoto developed a unique solo style combining looping and storytelling and has been touring the country and internationally. In 2018, he won second place in the International Finger Style Guitar Championship.
Join us as this one-of-a-kind performer leads the audience on an innovative and impressionistic musical journey in the Great Hall.
