No. 3 Railroad Street in Arnoldsville will host an artist of uncompromising quality on Friday. 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. Tsukamoto has been recognized for his talents on stages such as at Blue Note in New York City, on Japanese and United Nations National Television, and by scoring second place at the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship in 2018. This show comes highly recommended by yours truly.
