A one-of-a-kind composer, guitarist and singer-songwriter, from Kyoto, Japan, Hiroya began playing the 5-string banjo when he was 13 and took up guitar shortly after.

In 2000, he earned a scholarship to the Berklee College of Music and once in Boston formed the band INTEROCEANICO, comprised of musicians from four continents. They released three acclaimed records, The Other Side of the World, Confluencia, and Where the River Shines. Hiroya has since released five solo albums and re-located to Brooklyn, from where he tours the U.S. and the world.

He plays an original and intricate finger-picking style of guitar and loops over himself during performances to sometimes mesmerizing effect. When he first played here in 2024, he already had a strong following in the area and we expect another big and appreciative crowd for this performance.
