VIDEO: Hiromi Rocks New Year's Eve for NPR
January 18, 2009
On New Year's Eve, Hiromi Uehara '03 brought her crack band, Hiromi's Sonicbloom, back to the place where they all first met—Berklee—and broke new sonic ground for hundreds of thousands of new friends. A First Night Boston crowd and a worldwide radio audience courtesy of National Public Radio got a rousing taste of the band's inventive, virtuosic horsepower.
In 29 years of Toast of the Nation, NPR's New Year's Eve coast-to-coast, live jazz concert broadcast extravaganza, no band has rocked harder or brought the new year in with more energy. The concert is archived at NPR Music, where you can also see photos of the band in action that night in the Berklee Performance Center.
