Queens, New York-based singer-songwriter and producer Nick Hakim, a Berklee alumnus, performs an intimate solo show, with vocalist Danielle Ponder opening. The show is presented by birnCORE, one of four streaming channels comprising the Berklee Internet Radio Network (the BIRN), as part of its birnCORE Live series featuring performances by rising and established artists.
Nick Hakim’s debut EPs, Where Will We Go, Pt. 1 and Where Will We Go, Pt. 2,earned critical praise from NPR and The New York Times. His debut album, 2017’s Green Twins, marked an experimental step forward with emotional heft gleaned from his experiences since releasing the EPs. “These are genre-bending songs that find communion in love’s simple truths,” said Pitchfork. “Reflective and forgiving, they treat soul like a remedy.”
Danielle Ponder is vocalist and frontwoman for Danielle Ponder and the Tomorrow People. The group, named one of eight bands to watch in 2016 by the Rochester City Newspaper and winner of the Roc Award for Best Band in 2015 and 2016, transcends musical genres with a blast of deep, powerful groove and soul. The band has opened up for artists like George Clinton, Ledisi and The Roots.
The BIRN recently won
Best Live Music Broadcast at the 79th Annual Intercollegiate Broadcasting System Media Awards for its fall 2018 birnCORE Live event.
