Hiroshima Hearts Tickets

Hiroshima Hearts is a dynamic force in jazz fusion, formed in Los Angeles in 1974 by Dan Kuramoto and June Kuramoto. Renowned for weaving traditional Japanese instruments like the koto and taiko into contemporary American jazz, they helped redefine what world music can sound like in the modern era. Over the decades, the group has evolved through various configurations, but their core mission remains the same: to fuse cultural textures into sophisticated, accessible music that resonates with listeners from all backgrounds.

Whether you’re revisiting their landmark recordings or discovering their work for the first time, you’ll find a band that sits comfortably at the intersection of smooth jazz, R&B, and world music. Hiroshima Hearts continues to tour and record, bringing their signature sound to venues across the country and beyond.

Key moments in Hiroshima Hearts’ history include a Grammy nomination for Legacy (Best Pop Instrumental Album) at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards in 2010, a testament to their enduring influence in the jazz fusion scene. Their 2020 album, titled 2020, showcases their continued evolution and accessibility to fans who follow contemporary instrumental music. In 2025, they’re bringing both full-band and trio performances to a diverse set of venues, including Temecula, Detroit, Alexandria, Annapolis, and Catalina Island in October.
