About This Event
Last spring Japanese artist Hiroya Tsukamoto captivated us with a deeply inspiring performance filled with masterful finger-style guitar playing, singing, live looping, and story telling. The Alluvion is honored and excited to invite Hiroya back for a solo evening that will showcase his heartwarming talents and one of a kind sound.
