Next up in the World Voices series at LTV Studios in Wainscott is “Hiroya Tsukamoto: A Journey Through Strings and Stories,” set for Friday evening at 7:30. The acclaimed guitarist and songwriter will perform an innovative, impressionistic concert filled with earthy, organic soundscapes that generate a mood of tranquillity, according to LTV.
Originally from Kyoto, Japan, Mr. Tsukamoto began playing the five-string banjo when he was 13 and took up the guitar soon after. He came to the United States in 2000 on a scholarship from the Berklee College of Music.
He formed his own group in Boston, Interoceanico, which features musicians from different continents. Its music is marked by lush harmonies, lyrical melodies, and driving rhythms. The group has released three albums, and Mr. Tsukamoto has five solo albums to his credit. A two-time sec- ond-place winner of the International Fingerstyle Guitar Championship, he has performed at the United Nations and the Blue Note in Manhattan, and on Japanese National Television.
Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door, and $50 for table seating, which includes a drink.
The World Voices Series and the Eastville Community Historical Society will celebrate Juneteenth next Thursday at 6 p.m. with the second annual Juneteenth Jubilee White Party Awards and Celebration Ceremony. The event is a benefit for the historical society.
