John Keawe

Kings' Shops
6:00-7:00 pm

Meet the music-makers of the island and enjoy contemporary and traditional songs with that very special island flavor. We feature well known Island stars, from the traditional harmonies of the Kupukaa’s and the Wailana Trio to contemporary stylings of Widdy Loo, Kunia Galdeira, Lena Naipo and Hoku Award winner John Keawe. Everyone enjoys the open-air “kani ka pila” style and someone in the audience might be inspired to get up and dance an impromptu hula. Sweet guitar, ukulele, harmonious voices and lots of aloha.

Listen to local legend John Keawe sing and strum the silvery strings of Hawaiian slack key guitar, an island-style way of tuning the instrument in different keys to suit the song’s expression. John is Na Hoku Hanohano award winner and we are delighted to share his music with our visitors and kamaaina.

Also featuring Sonny Emeliano.
