ACOUSTIC GUITAR MASTERS AT ROSE HALL

feat. Hiroya Tsukamoto & Raedwald Howland-Bolton

"A Journey Through Strings and Stories"

Hiroya’s Bio:

Hiroya Tsukamoto is a Japanese-born fingerstyle guitarist who moved to the United States in 2000 to attend the Berklee College of Music. 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. This is a rare opportunity to witness a performer who has been celebrated for his ability to take listeners on an “impressionistic journey” (Boston Herald).  Enchanting music that promises to resonate long after the final note is played.

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. 

Raedwald’s Bio:

Raedwald Howland-Bolton’s rendition of country blues portrays the vastness and beauty of an American cultural gem. Performing Delta and Piedmont blues woven seamlessly with other Folk styles, he uses complex and at times primitive finger-picking techniques that explode with the “golden age” sound of acoustic folk music.

Audiences throughout New York are quickly taking notice of Raedwald’s talents and connecting effortlessly with his soulful vocals and the foot-stomping, syncopated rhythms he expresses with humble ease.
