In the two decades since, Teja has fine-tuned his sets to include original compositions, Celtic traditionals, classical pieces, jazz standards, and some favorite tunes by his fingerstyle guitar peers, several of which are included on 2005’s Postcards. Teja’s latest release is 2024’s Test of Time, and he also collaborated with fellow Bay Area guitarist Doug Young on 2020’s Duets. “Test of Time is a sonic marvel, from top to bottom” – Blair Jackson, Acoustic Guitar Magazine “Gerken’s technical facility is obvious, his performances impeccable, and his tones gorgeous” – Barry Cleveland, guitarplayer.com. ----------------------------------------------- Hiroya Tsukamoto Saturday, December 7th, 2024. 7:00 p.m.  ABOUT HIROYA TSUKAMOTO "A Journey Through Strings and Stories" 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.

Tsukamoto has been recognized for his talents on stages such as at Blue Note in New York City, Japanese National Television (NHK), International Storytelling Center and United Nations, and by scoring second place at the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship both in 2018 and 2022. "Hiroya Tsukamoto may play the guitar with the skill of a virtuoso, and he may write compelling music that draws from many different cultures and genres, but if I had to choose one word to describe him it would be orchestrator.
