HIROYA TSUKAMOTO

Friday, November 15, 2024. 7 pm

“A Journey Through Strings and Stories”
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.
Hiroya Tsukamoto is a Japanese-born fingerstyle guitarist who moved to the United States in 2000 to attend the Berklee College of Music. Needless to say, he’s not only a dizzyingly agile fingerpicker, but a soulful and transcendent performer, with compositions that combine instrumental guitar work with lyrical performance and spoken stories from his life.

Background musical score written and performed by special guest, Nicky Hind, on piano

Innovative, exciting, and maybe THE best movie about prehistoric dinosaurs. Plus it’s brought to life by a special performance on piano by Nicky Hind, a superb Lake County musician who plays every Wednesday night at Andre’s Lounge in Lakeport.

The quality of the stop motion in this silent movie is, for its vintage, quite extraordinary. The Lost World is absolute classic in every sense of the word. Rotten Tomatoes gives it a 100% on the Tomatometer. Adapted from Arthur Conan Doyle’s 1912 novel and starring Wallace Beery, Jessie White and Lloyd Hughes.
