BELLOWS FALLS-Fingerstyle guitarist Hiroya Tsukamoto will perform a 2 p.m. matinee concert Sunday, March 15, at Stage 33 Live, 33 Bridge St. Tickets are $20 in advance through stage33live.com, or at the door as available. Only 40 tickets will be sold.
Tsukamoto is “a one-of-a-kind musician and composer,” organizers wrote in a news release, “an eclectic, immersive, and mesmerizing guitarist who takes audiences on an innovative, impressionistic journey filled with earthy, organic soundscapes rich in subtle detail.” His performances combine instrumental guitar work with lyrical performance and spoken stories.
Born and raised in Kyoto, Japan, he received a scholarship to Berklee College of Music and came to the U.S. Since then, he has been performing internationally, including at the United Nations, the Blue Note in New York, and on Japanese national television. Acoustic Guitar magazine describes his style as “delicate, fluid, and beautifully detailed.”
Tsukamoto will meet and greet with the audience after the performance. He will also provide an opportunity of special interest to fingerstyle players of all levels of ability and accomplishment: an informal masterclass beginning at 11 a.m., preceding his concert. The cost is $30, or a discounted class-plus-concert bundle is $40. See stage33live.com for more information and registration.
